TICKET FOR SPEEDING ON MERCY MISSION

I WAS rushing my little grandson to the hospital. He had a fever all night of 104 degrees and strep throat. A state policeman pulled me over and gave me a ticket for speeding. He saw the sick child lying in the back of my car on a pillow.

I have turned in drunks and told them where to find them, and they would not get them. I think they might as well pull the ambulance over as the way he did me. ANN CREASY CHRISTIANSBURG
