In 1981, Hopkins Had 29 Volunteers for Rescue Unit

Today, most rescue units have trouble recruiting five people to volunteer for squads. But in 1981, places like Hopkins had little trouble coming up with 29 volunteers for its rescue squad. More subsequently signed up for the unit. Today, people are working longer, harder hours and the population has declined.

The December 23rd, 1981 Hopkins Journal listed the 29 volunteers for the squad – Marcia John, Lyle Fries, Larry Saxton, Hazel Hansen, Kathy Cross, Linda Cross, Larisa Lowrance, Don Crane, Charlotte Knorr, Melodee Lawrence, Carole Oberhauser, Joyce James, Donna Spalding, Joel Rybolt, Sherry Rybolt, Richard Brand, Lois Brand, Eldon Young, Margaret Young, Dan King, Donis Davis, Benetta Davis, Dick Wallace, Denise Wallace, Maurice Riley, Jim Thompson, Marcia Thompson, Garland O’Riley, and Pat O’Riley.
