Great to hear from you. Laughed when you posted the leeches comment on my FaceBook page.

Appreciate your comments and glad to know we accomplished a lasting impression.

Stay safe!

I remember the first EMT Class I attended was presented by Steve Cochrane, back when I was a volunteer in Fairfax City. Almost immediately after finishing the class and testing, I was hired by Fairfax County and started right off again with . . . another EMT class. A year or so after that, I was enrolled from Co 18 into the CCT class at Fairfax Hospital.

Although my career continued eventually into the Police Department (or as some may say, “to the dark side”), the skills learned those years ago and periodically refreshed by basic CPR and first aid classes have been beneficial. Because of things that I learned from Steve (and Mike), I was often better equipped to assess situations and render basic aid, whether in Fairfax County, or in post-retirement years serving overseas or in domestic disaster responses.

The importance of the instruction provided in the most basic of EMT classes can not be overstated. It may be laying the foundation to save a life or relieve suffering decades later.

You guys are champs!
