Huzzahs for Andy!!

I often wonder if I would be quick-thinking enough to put the classroom 
knowledge into practical action.
If ever the situation arises, I certainly hope so!

Again - Huzzahs for Andy!!!

Friday OT:  True Archivist Action Hero - Andrew Hempe







I'd like to recognize the quick-thinking and heroic actions of archivist  
Andy Hempe, of the Houston Metropolitan Research Center. 

Andy performed the Heimlich maneuver on a fellow archivist--and 
asthmatic--who began choking at a gathering of the Archivists of the 
Houston area (AHA) on April 5, possibly saving her life. 

I'd tell you more about it, but I believe I was unconscious at the 
time....   ( We have pretty exciting meetings down here in Houston.) 

Thank you, Andy!   I owe you big time.    Thanks also to Annie Golden, M. 
J. Figard, and other AHAers who came to my aid.   

And in the true A&A tradition, here is a link so you, too, can be prepared 
for such an event.

Have a good weekend, all.
