Thanks to neighbors and other good teens

Published: June 29, 2007

In our current environment, when we read weekly about underage drinking and illegal drug usage, it is rare to read about unheralded good deeds of everyday, neighborhood teenagers.

This letter is to recognize two such teenagers: Peter Schiller and EJ Schiller, teenage sons of Gene and Maureen Schiller of Bloomington.

The Schillers found out that I had fallen and broken my shoulder and foot, and that my husband had gone out of town. On the freezing Saturday afternoon before Easter, I looked out my window to see these boys mowing our lawn!

Instead of watching games on TV, listening to music or being with friends, they, instead, were out mowing their neighbor’s yard!

There are some great teenagers out there - and parents! Thank you to EJ and Peter, and all the other good kids who are daily performing good deeds - under the radar!
