My good friend became my hero when she literally saved my life!

[June 17, 2023]   I, Alice Doehring, was in Vienna, Austria sightseeing one day.

I stepped off the curb to take a picture of the Opera House. A noiseless tram was coming to the left of me that I did not see or hear.

My friend, Tillie Griffin Newhouse, grabbed my arm and pulled me up to the sidewalk. As I turned to the left, when she grabbed me, I saw the conductor's face reacting to thinking he was going to hit me. I was saved!

I was shook up after my miss from death that day, but I pulled myself together and we continued sightseeing. I shared this news with my and Tillie's church, Jefferson Street Christian Church, one Sunday before Thanksgiving 2011, and I wanted to share it with you, Lincoln Daily News.

Tillie's a true hero! We've been friends for ages, go to the same church, and we're both former teachers in Logan County.

Thank you for considering my hero for your website.
