While reading the Sunday newspaper yesterday I was searching for that special feel good article hidden in all of the bad depressing news. I wasn't disappointed! There it was a photo of 3 friends...Bill Gorman and Brian Bailey used the HeartSine Technologies Defibrillator that saved the life of their golf buddy, Ray Gee on August 13th of this year when he collapsed on the eighth green of the Conklin Players Club.
So many positives out of this story. First, Bill Gorman is a volunteer fireman for the Town of Conklin and knew how to administer CPR. Second, the clubhouse had a defibrillator mounted on the lobby wall where Matt Smith barreled a golf cart back 600 yards to get the device. Third, the club owner Theresa Rickard had purchased the machine about a year ago because the state required it. Ray Gee is alive today because of his friends and the actions of others and I am sure this Thanksgiving will mean much more to him than ever before.
That's the kind of story I enjoy reading about and it was nice to know we have men like these in our community!!!
