Section Chief, Section of EMS and Trauma Systems, Arkansas Department of Health Dies Suddenly

I was in my hotel room on Thursday night. At about 10:30p my phone rang with a number from an area code that I did not recognize and a gentleman by the name of John Ord introduced himself as a fan of EMSGarage. He was calling from Arkansas and is a routine listener of the podcast. He was calling me because we had visited my website and knew that I did design work. He went on to tell me that their state EMS director, David Taylor, had died suddenly on the 5th and he was looking for a mourning Star of Life to help honor him. I created a couple of versions for him that night.

Recently Kris Kaull spoke with me regarding this topic, take a look.
