Trying to find the Fred Meyer store in Sumner, I made a wrong turn. After several miles and not seeing any Sumner signs, I asked this young man if he could tell me how to get into Sumner. I didn’t want to go on the freeway, so he said, “I’ll get my car; follow me. I’ll take you to Fred Meyer.” He left before I could thank him. Thank you so much.
