Ironically, after talking about first aid training, I have sad news to share. On Tuesday, Nov 24, a gentleman had a heart attack right outside of our elevator (the elevators take those who can’t use the stairs up to the fitness floor). I was not there and truthfully I did not know about it until I saw an e-mail from my supervisor about how no one was to speak about it and if asked questions we are told to go straight to the director. Unfortunately, it was Jenn’s dad. Jenn is a building supervisor at the Gemini Center, the first person I trained with, and a cross country/track coach at the high school. Her father was also very well-known in the Fairview Park community. When I came into work, a few of the staff members filled me in on what had happened: that he had fallen as he was getting off the elevator, Terry, the building supervisor that day, tried everything that he could to save him and unfortunately, he had passed away on the way to the hospital. Many of the employees were also enraged by the e-mail. Like I said, her father was an influential presence in the community, having worked with the police department. Personally, I thought it was to keep privacy within the family, but one of the front desk workers told me that even Jenn was upset that my supervisor sent that out on her behalf without consulting her.
