Alert Neighbor Helps Rescue Elderly Woman Neighbor Heard Cries For Help
Updated: 10:31 pm CST December 9, 2009
MADISON, Wis. — An alert neighbor came to the aid of an elderly woman in a south Madison neighborhood Wednesday morning.
Bob Hague was clearing off his driveway early Wednesday morning, preparing for his job at the Wisconsin Radio Network, when he happened to hear faint cries from a neighbor a few houses down.
“She’d gone out to get her newspaper this morning and I believe she took her shovel with her so she could dig it out,” said Hague. “And she ended up falling into the snow. (She) told me she’d been out here for 15 minutes calling and there weren’t many people around.”
The neighbor roughly 80 years old and very small in stature told Hague she knew she was lucky that he heard her cries for help.
The temperature at the time was about 30 degrees, but it started dropping shortly thereafter.
Good going, Bob! We’re proud of you!
