Our very own Diane Slade makes the Deseret News

The following is an editorial that appeared on page A-14 of Wednesdays March 18th Deseret News:
Thanks for finding purse
My faith in the goodness of people has been recharged and revitalized. Recently, while shopping at the Taylorsville Harmons grocery store, I suddenly realized my purse was gone. I had visions of never seeing the contents of my purse again, which was a terrifying experience that has never happened to me before. In my panic I turned and I came face to face with Harmons employee Diane Slade. She comforted me and then ran quickly to the front of the store to report the loss. Store employees immediately went into action positioning themselves at the doorways leading out of the store, keeping a lookout for my bag.
Within minutes I heard my name being paged to come to the front of my store. A lady customer had found my purse and had turned it in. Gratitude for that unknown woman will be never-ending, as well as for the sincere love, courtesy, and concern showered upon me by numerous store employees. Thank you, Harmons and unknown lady.
