 Luther
Keith, in 1973, at the age of 56, was a founding member of the Greeley
County Ambulance Service which consisted of a First Aid course and the
Doctor’s station wagon.
When
it became available, Luther took the EMT course.
From that point on, he was active in meetings, recertification
courses, transfers, emergency runs and courtesy runs, endowing each
activity with his smile, calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge.
In
1989, because he felt his eyesight wasn’t keen enough, Luther quit
driving the ambulance but his patient care just seemed to improve.
Luther
was the oldest active EMT in the State of Kansas when he passed away
in 1999 at the age of 82. On
the day he died, Luther was still actively giving of himself to his
community.
