._4 Dear Chris:
M On Wednesday morning one of our employees, Cathy Rudel, passed out
apparently from hypOnlycemie, flat knowino what had caused her to
sass nut Ind being unable to, get a pulse 'count, X contacted the
i operatorand told her 1 needed an emergency ambulance and she
connected me with the Central FIN Station, Y Wivethem our
address and told them what the problem was and to my amaxoment
the paramedics worn here in between three to five minutes.
It is encouraging to me to know that siich rapid response may
someday save sorraone's life and perhaps it aheadyy has. Speaking
t for this Bank, we want to expross to you ,Ankl,to' ho paramedics
i our sincere appreciation for the extraordinarily prompt action,
j As a result of, what has transpi md, we at First State Bank are
t about to undertake a course in C.P.R, which will be made available
to all employees.
Sincerely,

Jerry McCormicY went about their work, Not. only was the fire
essentially contained in the one room over the library, but, datnago
t was kept to a mitfidtum through the t'irornanle skilInd efforts. A tart)
