Three samaritans and five first responders were presented the Lifesaving Award last month for heroic actions in helping a young girl who recently had a cardiac episode at a volleyball game in Mineral Wells.
âA young ladyâs heart stopped when she was at the city gym and there were some really good people there that were in the right place at the right time when this young lady needed them,â then-Mineral Wells Fire Chief Mike Pool said.Â
Katherine Boswell, a nurse and instructor at Weatherford College, and samaritans Clyde Richardson and Renda Smith took immediate action at the game on April 10.
