FALMOUTH It s been 47 years, but Jeffrey Marotta still hasn t forgotten about Thomas Summers.
When he was 10 years old, Marotta had a cardiac event. Summers, then a seasonal officer with the Falmouth Police Department, performed CPR, saving his life.
About a month ago, Marotta, now 57, found an old newspaper clipping about the incident and was inspired to try to find the officer.
“I always had this in my mind that I wanted to find him, he said. I wanted to say thank you.”
Searching through a local library search engine, he found two results for Tom Summers. One of them was Summers’ son. He called the son, who put the two men in touch.
