Thank you notes

All too often in life, we fail to take time to thank people who cross our paths in day-to-day business. Some way or another, we always find time to criticize or complain when we feel that we did not get what we deserve-either in products, services, or attitudes in dealing with our society. I would like to take this time to apologize for not having thanked your Denver office for damage complaints. Your adjuster and his office were very valuable in the assistance of resolving a situation involving our family car and a former AAA contractor. In short, I would like to thank Glen Davis and his staff for help and assistance beyond their responsibility in resolving a very difficult and stressful situation. Again, I would like to apologize for not having said "thank you" sooner.

I just received the April issue of The Motorist. Wow! Thank you for printing my [My Colorado] story. The photo and story layout look great. You did an excellent job. I had kept this a secret from my husband, so he was quite surprised to see it in print. Tears streamed down his face as he relived our hike up Storm King Mountain. It's now on the bulletin boards at each of the Union Colony fire stations. Hopefully, it will inspire more to take the hike.

Editor's note: After we printed Ms. Thompson's My Colorado essay, "Our Hilltop Heroes," several readers asked for directions to the Storm King Fourteen Memorial Trail. From I-70 take the Canyon Creek exit (#107), just west of Glenwood Springs, then double back east on the frontage road approx-imately 2 miles to the trailhead. The trail takes about two hours to hike, and is a difficult and steep climb.

Fuel Benefit Clarification

In the comparison between AAA membership and AAA Plus in "Your ERS Benefits" [May] I am confused by the comments under "Fuel Delivery." With the simple plan [Basic AAA membership] a limited supply of fuel will be delivered…to enable me to reach the nearest open service station, and I'll pay the current pump price. With AAA Plus, I get enough fuel enabling me to reach the nearest service station-open or not? Is the difference simply that in the elementary plan I pay for the gas, and under AAA Plus I get it free, and can I assume I'll get to an open service station in either case?

Helen Real, via e-mail


Editor's reply: The difference between AAA Basic and AAA Plus membership on fuel delivery is that with Basic the member pays for the unleaded regular gas, and with Plus there is no charge. Typically we deliver two to five gallons depending upon where the member is broken down. With either membership, you will receive enough fuel to get you to an open service station.


Correction

In the feature article titled "Sizing Up Salt Lake City" in our April issue, it was stated that the Great Salt Lake is located northeast of Salt Lake City. The lake is, in fact, northwest of the city.

We want to hear from you!
