Letter to the Editor

Worthy volunteer

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Dear Editor,

Dr. Klug receiving an award for his contribution to all of what he has volunteered for throughout Southwest Nebraska is truly deserving ... ("Klug receives volunteer award" Oct. 14, 2009).

I not only was a patient of his -- he truly did work hard to save my life and put me back on the road to recovery during a time I was really needing that in my life.

I had the good fortune to work with him at McCook Community College in training many EMS people throughout the area.

I also received great training from him and others at MCC to become and act as a paramedic as well as many have.

Many of those are still active in and around McCook and indeed, that is directly why the area has the best EMS squads in the state. Specifically, McCook Fire Department's Paramedic service is truly second to none, none at all.

Thanks Rick,

Michael Hartwell,

NREMT-Paramedic
