After arriving in Louisville I
worked as a street paramedic until
1984, when I was promoted to Operations Supervisor.
 |
| In 1984 I finished hiking half of the
Appalachian Trail. |
In July, 1984, I hiked the
lowest 200 miles of the Appalachian Trail, which
gave me a cumulative total of about half the entire trail. This
began in the 1960s, while at summer camp, with portions of the
northern trail, and continued into the 1970s and 1980s with
other portions of the northern trail. Most of the trail was done
alone in two-week increments.
 In
1989 I left
Louisville EMS to become a Battalion Chief for Frankfort Fire
& EMS, where I trained their initial paramedics and
established their advanced life support
EMS program.
