First Aid Class

I started out teaching First Aid and CPR classes for the American Red Cross for selfish reasons; I needed to keep my card current, and as a substitute teacher for many years I had to pay for the class. It was easier to volunteer, and it's been fun interacting with adults. They learn differently from kids. And face it, after a day with teenagers, I'm ready for some adult conversation. But I've really come to believe that everyone should have some working knowledge of what to do in an emergency. We don't live in a bubble, and bad things happen often.
