Watched this yesterday and really enjoyed it.
My good friend Richard Smith, now a retired RCMP officer, was a key contributor to the formation of this SAR team. Richard has been involved in SAR for many years, and has taught numerous SAR courses throughout Canada and the U.S.
The opening interview with Monica Ahlstrom, President of SAR Alberta, touched a nerve when she referenced the search for the little boy who had wandered away from camp, and was located in the river the next morning. It touched a nerve because I was involved in that search. I still vividly remember the events and the helpless feeling we all had when the boy was found.
Thanks to all who volunteer for search and rescue - you selfless dedication definitely makes a difference and saves lives.
I know you do it "so others may live".
I wish I had the time to volunteer with SAR again - I really loved the time I spent involved with SAR.
