It was right before Christmas this year and I was on a mission running errands--too much to do in one day! I stopped in at my favorite florist, Gainan's in Billings, bought a few gifts and returned to my car--only to realize that in my haste I had locked my keys in my car--as well as my cell phone. Frazzled, I returned to Gainan's and asked to use their phone to call a friend to help me. Jim Gainan was at the front desk and overheard my plight and offered me his car to go home and retrieve my spare set of keys. I was touched and deeply moved by his genorosity. Fortunately, I did reach my friend who came to rescue me but I will always remember Jim Gainan's act of kindness and how he automatically reached out to me in a time of distress. He exemplies what kindness is all about and is representative of what makes Billings, Montana such a great place to live. Thank you Jim!
