An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin recounting having a tire blowout on Montana State Highway 43. With a tire on the loose and no lug wrench, strangers, including some from Roseburg, Oregon (who AuCoin refers to as his "fellow residents of the state of Jefferson") stopped by to help out, and AuCoin expresses his gratitude of the persistent benevolence of the strangers. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2001-2003.
