- i wanted to acknowledge herotic actions of my neighbor David Behnke on Wednesday Sepember 26, 2012. David regularly walks my 2 dogs each morning at 9 am. David arrived but my front door was still locked , my blinds closed and after numerous attemps to ring the doorbell to "wake" me. He tried phoning all to no avail-yet my dogs were going wild. David didn't just leave like ohers might have, he stopped by my neighbor , Bridget Rafter knowing she had acess to the house, Unfortunately I had locked the inside garage door so it ended up to a call to 911 for their grateful assistance finding me unresponsive in bed. Obviously I was admitted to the hospital and didn't wake up till Sunday. So many thanks to my neighbors and 911 responders for their quick action. So few GOOD deeds get recognized these days. I am a, RN and came home yesterday. THANKS TO ALL!
