WABI reports on Police Department’s presentation of lifesaving awards
WABI (Channel 5) reported that the University of Maine Police Department presented three members of the UMaine Athletic Department — Jordan Fitzpatrick, Annie Grant and Ed Youngblood — with Lifesaving Awards. Fitzpatrick is an assistant softball coach, Grant is the coordinator for athletic facilities and special events and Youngblood is a member of the athletics ground crew. In October, they aided Richard Morrow, professor emeritus of physics, who was crouched next to a campus call box on a bike trail. Grant started CPR, Fitzpatrick administered medical aid and Youngblood transported medical personnel to the scene, according to the report. “They really helped me and when I was in a bad shape out there on the bike trail so I’m glad that they did have this honor and happy that I’m able to congratulate them on receiving it,” says Morrow. UMaine first responders on the scene that day also attended the ceremony.
