Woke up this morning (26, Dec.) ; grabbed a cup of coffee and turned on the tele. Saw on my local news channel a live feed telling everyone about a missing 2 year old that managed to wander away from his father while in the woods, Christmas day around 4 in the afternoon. It got down to 30 degrees F that night and the newslady was saying that the emergency crews needed volunteers to help in the search. This incident was ocurring about a mile from where I lived, so I grabbed some clothes and headed out to assist.
Got to the command post and there must have been at least 300 people that volunteered, it was really a nice thing to see. People taking time to help others in need the day after Christmas, they could have just as easily stayed home and recuperated from the night before. Anyways, got there at 8:30 and then our search party found out that they found him, alive and well with just a little scrapes here and there. There are quite a bit of marsh and rivers, and then when we heard the news we were of course elated. Here is the link to the article:
