“I never thought of ‘how to get home’ more than once.”
It was said by a Canadian soldier who drove 1609 km for two days to help an American military family caught in a snowstorm in Canada.
According to The Times of the United Kingdom on the 10th (local time), the instructor of the Canadian Armed Forces Gary Baths in British Columbia, Canada, last November, a woman living in Georgia, United States, Lynn Maceso, son Peyton (13 ), daughter Rebecca (10), dog I met a family made up of cats.
They were frustrated by a car breakdown after encountering a severe blackout (a condition in which visibility was impossible due to the disappearance of snow and air) on their way to meet her husband and father Tim Maceso, stationed at the US base in Fairbanks, Alaska. The windshield was covered in mud, so I couldn’t see an inch, and even the tires were spinning.
According to the New York Times (NYT), to make matters worse, even the receptor on the Maceso cell phone is broken. I had to get a GPS device somewhere to use the navigation system.
Lin recalled the situation at the time: “I was crying after taking my car to the gas station.” The path to the left to take the children and pets was too difficult and the truck was not in good condition.
Initially, this trip was scheduled for September, but due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), border access regulations have been tightened and it is not possible to leave until November. My husband’s team couldn’t even come to save his family right away due to Canadian quarantine regulations.
The first Canadian to help them was a woman from the gas station building. He drove Lin’s truck straight to the tire store. And for them, he posted a post on Facebook saying he was looking for a veteran driver who could drive to Alaska instead.
It was an opportunity for Bass to establish a relationship with a troubled American military family. Bass learned the story and took the wheel. The path to get through the blizzard was 1609 km (1,000 miles), the distance that could be reached after running two days.
Tim was hesitant and worried about getting Bath’s help available. But Lin decided to seek help. “I thought that seeking help for the children was the right decision,” he told CNN.
In an interview with The Times, Bass recalled: “I didn’t even have time to worry about how I would get home, trying to get everyone to their destination safely.” Bass reached the Alaska border safely and handed the steering wheel to Lynn. “It was like an old friend (not a stranger), and it was a huge boost,” said Lynn Maceso. “He deserves everyone’s trust.”
The British-American media featured the good deeds of Canadian Bass, who became a “good Samaritan.” The Times, which interviewed Bass, praised that “there seems to be no limit to Canadian politeness.”
