My wife, Susie, and I are proud to say that the AEDs for which we raised funds to place in all the school buildings in our county is complete.

  In the past week, we have trained over 110 school people in eight classes our county's four school districts. Two of the districts sent their entire staffs (teachers, administrators, cooks, custodians, bus drivers, secretaries) and the other two districts sent part of their staffs and plan on having others complete the class later.

And the best part---the AEDs arrived at the schools this week, just in time for thestart of school!!

Everyone in all the schools seemed gratefiul and excited to have the AEDs available in their buildings. Many expressed to us their fears of remembering what to do in an emergency situation---but after the class where they saw (and acutally used the AED trainer) how easy it is to operate--they all now feel much more comfortable if they ever have to use it. Many even said their students should also get the training because it could be a kid saving a teacher!
