Editor:
I'm very pleased to be able to express my gratitude and appreciation for the dedication and expertise of the emergency response teams who lost a sunday afternoon helping me after my accident. Thanks to the team of EMTs who were assisting me literally within a minute of the accident – Angie Hazelswart, Brad Brackwell, Adam Buss, Jerry Taylor, Dan Curtis, Patrick and Brett. Thanks to Battalion #12 for their immediate response and a big Navy "Bravo Zulu" (well done) goes to Randa and Tom from the Telluride Marshal's for their professionalism after I caused such chaos on Main St. The staff in the ambulance and at the medical center (Rebecca, Dr. Paul, and the technicians) made me proud to be a taxpayer. I know these good folks will say they were just doing their job, but you can tell when people care about you and your well being, and I'm truly blessed. We're fortunate to have such people in our community. Kiss an EMS volunteer next time you see one.
– Steve Kennedy, Telluride
