It was sad to read about Dylan Allen being yelled at (Journal Pioneer, Dec. 15) while delivering utility bills for the City of Summerside. It doesn't seem possible that such behavior of degradation still happens in 2017. Our comments at home came with the conclusion that we were pleased of having parents who taught us otherwise, yet it doesn't alleviate the horror of such actions. We hope it won't happen again. It's encouraging to read that Dylan likes his job, has risen above this incident and will continue to work. The beautiful ending to this story is to be found with the Wayne Wright comic strip of the Journal Pioneer Dec. 20, 2017. What an innovative way of presenting this situation: Dylan Allen became a celebrity with the touch of a pen!
