Sir,

A couple of weeks ago, I lost my expensive mobile 'phone which is essential to my business.

I lost it on the road somewhere between Jeffreyston and Reynalton and never thought I would see it again. However, I had a wonderful surprise when a message was left on my answer machine saying that my number was traced via my mobile - it was working fine, just a bit wet.

The lady who left the message said her son was out on a bike ride and spotted the 'phone. The young gentleman's name is Andrew Pattison.

I would like to thank him for his kindness and express to all that there is goodness and honesty in young people today. We only seem to hear about the bad things.

R. Griffiths,

Reynalton.
