Sisters salutes...

Kudos to first responders in and around Sisters.

I had a fall last week on a trail along the Metolius River, breaking several bones in my left leg. The first person on the scene was Kirk, a search and rescue volunteer, who convinced other services that I needed to be carried out.

So along came responders from the police, the fire department, search and rescue, and the forestry service. There were so many guys there I didn’t meet them all, but I remember three Brians, a Jack, a Michael. Without Kirk, I’m sure this would’ve been a much longer rescue than it was.

I am indebted to them all and to my cousins Steph and Mitch of Sisters who have been by my side throughout.
