A good deed done by the staff of Tumbleson Automotive has gone viral. Late Thursday evening, a good Samaritan posted on social media about how a group of seniors on a planned trip to Hawaii had been stranded at the Quad Cities Airport. It appears that their connecting flight to O'Hare Airport in Chicago had been grounded due to heavy fog. The Facebook poster asked if there was anyone who had a bus who might be able to help these people out. If they didn't make their morning flight in Chicago, each of them were out $6000 dollars. Seeing the post, a member of the staff at Tumbleson Automotivie called their boss, Mike Tumbleson and the team sprung into action. Digging one of their buses from their party bus fleet out of the snow, and grabbing a second bus for the overflowing amount of luggage involved, they went to the QC Airport, grabbed the group of seniors and made the trip to Chicago in time for the connecting flight. By the time Mike joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Friday morning, the group of seniors was in the air, on their way to Hawaii with memories they will never forget about a group of Kewanee folks who pitched in in a moment of need. We call that The Good News.
