A Thank You to Kemah Volunteer Fire Dapt.

After Ike I lost track of a few of my SBC/yahoo email accounts I restored one today and found this email sent to me a couple days ago.

just want to say a good word about your Kemah Volunteer Department.

On Tuesday, February 10, 2009, my husband, Jim Holmes, an insulin dependent diabetic for almost 20 years, overdosed on his insulin. I realized the symptoms and called 911. Literally, within 3 minutes, a fire truck, ambulance, EMT vehicle, a police car and a constable car were at our door. We are 64 year old full-time RV'ers at site 182 in Marina Bay RV Resort. There were at least 15 folks here to help us so fast I barely could believe it. Once the situation was assessed...less than 2 more minutes, these wonderful folks began wishing us well and leaving one at a time. The last two remaining were the EMT folks....Steve and Rene (sp?)...two of the most knowledgeable and caring folks I have had the pleasure to meet in my 47 years of medical experience. The started the IV, pushed the glucose, pushed the IV, and the oral glucose as expertly as I have ever seen. They treated us with the utmost respect.

While I hope I never have to see them again on this kind of matter, I sincerely want to thank them for the sacrifices they make to stay at the forefront of technology and timeliness.

Please include a copy of this in their respective personnel files and inform their immediate supervisors.

Thank you.

Jim and Marty
