Good Samaritan is praised

On May 5, I lost my wallet near downtown Beaver Dam.

Within 45 minutes I had a phone call from the Beaver Dam police station that my wallet had been returned.

 I would like to thank Dan Johnson of Rio for returning my wallet.

Thank you very much. In a time when negative headlines prevail, I am happy to report good news!
