Dear Editor
This past Saturday, we had the sad honour of driving in a funeral procession from Sallows and McDonald Funeral Home to the veterans’ section of Woodlawn Memorial Gardens following the funeral of the late David McDonald.
From the moment we encountered our first stop sign and continuing through stop and yield signs and red lights, the drivers of every vehicle we met gave us the right-of-way even though the signs and lights gave the right-of-way to them.
We were pleasantly astounded to observe the overwhelming number of other drivers we met pull their vehicles to the side of the road, stop, turn on their flashers and wait until the procession had passed.
Courtesy and kindness are alive and well in the Battlefords.
In addition, opposing traffic on Highway 16 yielded to us when we crossed the west-bound traffic lane into the cemetery.
A pat on the back to everyone who showed this respect.
Harvey and Jean Walker
North Battleford
