The Editor,

No good deed goes unrewarded, and I would like to let the person who returned my wallet to my home, after I misplaced it somewhere along the Coquitlam Crunch recently, that I will pay it forward.

Nearly an hour had passed from when I probably dropped the wallet while precariously catching my breath on one of the well-placed boulders along the path to when I discovered it missing. I knew there was a good chance that someone had found it and may be en route to return it but I also understood that most people are watching their steps, not the underbrush for a wallet. So back to the Crunch I went, retracing my steps and getting an unexpected second workout in the process.

To my pleasant surprise, when I returned home, feeling defeated, tired and slightly panicked, my wallet had been returned. The good person did not leave a name or number through which I could state my thanks and to offer a reward but believe me, I will follow the same example that gentleman set. He went out of his way and made my day.

Thanks for the save, good sir.

Dan Olson, Port Coquitlam
