Denny Shira - Deceased - 1951 - 2020
June 5, 1951 - January 29, 2020
This, believe it or not, is yours truly. in the fall of 1968. 17 years old. I had just received my MET(Medical Emergency Technician) certification that past June. NYS law required that you should be 18 years old to receive an MET card. Because i had already worked on the ambulance since i was 16, and had Red Cross basic, advanced, and instructor training,they made an exception in my case. I also had delivered A baby that spring. Imagine something like that happening in this day and age
My original MET # is 000799 (which i still hold to this day)They changed it to EMT sometime in the early 70's. Yes, we looked like ice cream men
