THE DAVEY BULLETIN
Bobby White and James "Aubrey"
Williams, UVM technicians, DRG,
were traveling for work when
they witnessed a woman fall and
hit her head at their hotel. They
jumped into action, helping her to
her room and providing first aid.
The woman and her husband,
both in their 80s, could not drive
at night. White and Williams
volunteered to take them to the
emergency room.
"I just went through my day and did a good deed,"
Williams said. "It makes me happy."
White recognized their training
helped them act quickly.
"Even though this incident
wasn't work related, having first
aid training for work helped us
act fast," White said. "Hearing
the appreciation feels good.
I'm happy she's doing well."
As for the woman Williams and
White helped, she couldn't feel
more blessed.
"You hired two angels," said Rita Martin-Kollmar.

SWIFT ACTION HELPS
HOMEOWNER IN NEED
Thomas Johnson, sales
arborist in the North
Minneapolis R/C office, was
meeting with a homeowner
when he noticed she was
showing symptoms of a
stroke. Johnson instructed
his crew to call 911 while
he assisted her until first
responders arrived.
Worried the situation would
affect the crew, Johnson
cleared the rest of his
schedule to finish the job with them.
"It turned into a four-person job, with me there more
or less for moral support."
Johnson had to handle the emotions of the situation in
the moment and afterwards.
"Staying calm in the moment was easy, managing
the adrenaline later was different," Johnson said.
"I feel fantastic,
it felt like helping
her was what
I was supposed
to do."
Thomas Johnson acted
quickly and calmly to help
a homeowner in duress.
