LETTER: Thank you, stranger, for literally saving my life

Dear Editor: In this life there are angels that walk among us. They aren't afraid to see the sick and dying. They show mercy through random acts of kindness.

Dear Editor:

In this life there are angels that walk among us. They aren't afraid to see the sick and dying. They show mercy through random acts of kindness.

Last night, my niece, Marguerite and I had just sat down to eat at the Coho salmon music festival. The next thing I knew, I started to choke on a corn kernel. I couldn't even breath in to cough it out. I used the international choking sign so that someone might come and help me.

Then you appeared, asked me if I wanted help; I nodded. You administered the proper first aid and the corn kernel dislodged. You even hugged me to calm me down after this traumatic experience. The medic took me to the first-aid tent and then we couldn't find you afterwards to thank you. I never even got to see your face or know your name. But I remember your kind voice. Please let the editor know your contact information, so I can perhaps thank my "Angel" in person someday. I am the mother of four children, a teacher and an artist and we really thank you for saving my life yesterday.
