BALTIMORE – Governor Larry Hogan on Thursday announced he will award Governor’s Citations to H&S Bakery and an Ellicott City couple who helped feed stranded drivers on a stretch of icy Virginia interstate Tuesday.
Casey Holihan and her husband, John Noe, were on a five-hour road trip from Ellicott City to North Carolina to visit family before Noe headed to Germany. That five-hour trip turned into more than 30 hours when they hit I-95 in Virginia.
Hundreds of motorists were stranded all night Monday in snow and freezing temperatures along an impassable stretch of the road south of the nation’s capital after a winter storm.
Holihan ended up helping distribute nearly 600 loaves of bread after she called H&S bakery and ended up getting a call back from one of the owners, Chuck Paterakis.
‘I will be awarding governor’s citations to Casey Holihan and John Noe, as well as H&S Bakery, for their incredible selflessness in helping people stranded on I-95 in Virginia earlier this week,’ Hogan said in a tweet.”
