To the Editor:
I moved up to Norwalk from Alabama this past
September. As you can imagine, the move was
exciting and I was also quite nervous. My fianc6 is a
Norwalk native and has always talked about how nice
Iowans were. I was worried about being accepted into
the Norwalk and other Iowan communities but the
transition was quite pleasant. I was very astounded
about how friendly everyone was!
There was one event in particular that really struck
me in the heart and made the true characteristic of
being Iowan stand out to me. New Year's Eve
afternoon my work let out early, as did most places.
The weather was a typical Iowan winter afternoon
complete with slick roads, freezing temperatures, and
icy sidewalks. Since it was New Year's Eve, I thought
it would be nice to pick up a famous Casey's taco
pizza! I had never heard nor tried a taco pizza but
everyone told me I had to try it since I now lived in
Iowa. While getting out of my car I saw an elderlj7
woman coming out all bundled up from head to toe.
Her arms were full of groceries and she was trying
to be so careful as not to slip on the icy sidewalk trying
to get to her car. A man promptly jumped out of his
car and walked over to the woman, grabbed her milk
and other groceries with ease, and helped her to her
car. From the conversation I briefly heard between
them they did not know each other. The kindness
and care he took in order to help this elderly lady
really struck me in the heart. I watched as he made
sure her groceries were put away and she got in her
vehicle safely. She thanked the man and drove away.
As he turned around, making his way back into
his car, I told him how his act of unselfishness really
hit me in the heart and how wonderful that was of
him to help someone out he didn't even know. I'll
never forget the words he said to me. He held his
head up high and stated, "Well of course! That's what
it means to be IowanI"
I'll never know who this man was, but if there was
one moment anyone could have defined what it was
to be Iowan, he did it with his actions that day. Those
words really touched my soul and I felt happy and
proud to live in a community, and state, where there
is still pride being taught on how to treat everyone
with thoughtfulness.
Thank you, Norwalk Iowa, for being such a gentle
and kind hearted town!
