Dear Editor:
I used my Husqvarna 445/450 chainsaw to cut up some firewood on Monday afternoon 12/3 near Friendship Center on Evans Quarry Road. I put my Husky chainsaw on top of the wood to go about 200 feet down Evans Quarry Rd where we live across the road from Friendship Center, a non-profit] retreat center and Children's Camp. I volunteer to do the maintenance including cutting firewood. Apparently, the chainsaw fell off my Kawasaki Mule.
As I worked with the cut firewood at my home, I heard a vehicle stop and saw a white pick-up go South on Evans Quarry Road. About 15 minutes later at about 5 p.m. I realized the $200+ Husky chainsaw had fallen off my wood load onto the road. With no sign of it on the road, I'm hoping the pickup driver will realize how much the chainsaw is needed and will get it back to me by calling 935-3613 for me to pick it up or by dropping it off in my driveway at 3952 Evans Quarry Road with no questions asked. Hoping for the best.
