Members of the Ste. Genevieve County Ambulance District Board honored Rick Short, who is retiring from the ambulance staff after 20 years as an EMT. For more than 10 years he has been a shift captain.
“He’s a great asset to the district,” executive director Kendall Shrum said. “We’re going to miss him very much.”
Shrum noted that Short was always “very involved” in things like the building committee and in delivering and picking up ambulances that were remounted in North Carolina, Indiana and Columbia, Missouri.
“I know he was well-respected by the crew members and staff,” Shrum said. “He’s going to be a great loss to the district.”
