[CTSARA] Hams Help a Distressed Runner at the Norwalk Mother's Day Race

[Jon Perelstein]

Sam (NV1P) and his girlfriend (whose name escapes me at the moment) and
George (AB1QK) volunteered to provide mobile course monitoring at the
Norwalk Mothers Day race today.

About mid-way through the race, Sam and his girlfriend came upon a runner
in distress (who wound up fainting).  They called 9-1-1 and stayed with her
until the ambulance and a race official arrived.  Apparently the radio
exchange was overheard by a Greenwich fire captain who wanted Sam and his
girlfriend to know that they did everything right, and by a Norwalk city
official who wanted to add his thanks for their quick response.

Great job Sam (and girlfriend) and great job George.  Thank you both.

And thanks to Paul (N1II) and Jim (WB2TPS) for relinquishing the repeater
when the event started.
