A College Student in Distress

We have been visiting parks here and in Minnesota. I noticed a sign for Red Wing, Minnesota and it reminded me of a little adventure many years ago.
I was traveling from Stillwater, Minnesota, where I was doing my intern teaching - so you know it was a very long time ago:) - to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where I went to college, for an important church meeting. I had heard that I was going to be nominated for a leadership position which I did not feel I should do.
A little red oil light went on. Thinking I could wait a few more exits for the very cheapest gas possible, and most likely cutting it close to get to the meeting on time,I ignored the light.
The light did not ignore me. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the engine blew! I had saved a few cents a gallon, but wrecked my car. No cell phones at the time. I didn't have the option to call home and ask for help even if I had had a phone nearby.
A man stopped on the deserted road. Don't ask me why I trusted him. I actually have trusted men several times to help me when I have broken down. Thankfully, they have each turned out to be honest. Anyway, this kind man took me to (I think it was) Red Wing, Minnesota. I had missed the bus back to Minnesota for the night, but was able to stay at the hotel where it picked up passengers. The cost was $4 a night. It had a sink in the room and rest room down the hall. At least it was safe and clean.
I got back to Stillwater. The man who helped me found an engine for me at a junkyard and it got installed for $100, which I sent him. He really went the extra mile for me.
A few months later, I was at a restaurant. A man came up to me to greet me. I didn't recognize him at the time -I had mainly seen him in the dark - but he was the man who had helped me - a college student in real distress.
