CPR suggestion

Dear Editor:

RE: Centre Wellington firefighter receives medal for off-duty heroism, Jan. 14.

When Centre Wellington firefighter Jamie Hiller suggested that everyone should know CPR I could not have agreed more.

As a matter of fact, I have been telling my wife, family and friends for over 20 years that I have often thought that all children should be taught a St. John Ambulance CPR class in school.

Just think of how many lives could be saved if every child got the course and grew up knowing how to save a life.

I understand that you have to be re-certified every year or so for the St. John’s course, but once you are taught you never forget how.

Thank you, Mr. Hiller, for smashing windows and jumping into cars to save people, I am not sure we all have that in us. You obviously were put on this earth for a reason.

You really hit the nail on the head with your CPR suggestion.
