1 Heroes in the neighborhood We were without power from 2 a.m. Feb. 15 to 1 p.m. Feb. 17. Two of our neighbors checked on us. Ande and Brock brought us soup and coffee on both days. Sean and Julie brought us food and helped us start our small generator. Wednesday evening, our Meals on Wheels client, an older lady who lives alone and is in a wheelchair, phoned crying and said she had water all in her home. Sean had a car that would drive in the snow, and he took us over to her home.
