Thanks from Michigan

My husband and I are from Michigan and were visiting Glacier National Park at the end of September. While there I had a medical emergency and I would like to thank the people who helped get me medical attention and to the hospital in a very timely manner.

I know some of the names of the people but many I do not:

Swan Mountain Outfitters: Kate, Louisa and the young lady who drove my husband from the barn to the area where I was.

The two RN’s who were on the ride with me.

The ambulance people who came into the woods and transported me out.

The helicopter crew who got me to the hospital.

The Lake McDonald staff including Gordon who helped the helicopter crew and Donna who found my husband in the Lodge and helped him focus on where I was.

The hospital emergency room staff and Dr. Scott Burry.

The Park Rangers, including Steve Powers, who did an excellent job of traffic control and assisting my husband with directions to the Kalispell Hospital.

Upon our return to Lake McDonald Lodge, the staff, including Lisa, Gordon, Donna, Melinda and many others treated us with kindness, compassion and a genuine concern for my health.

We are forever grateful. What has come out of a serious problem that fortunately got resolved are some lasting friendships and a realization that there are many good people in the world and I was fortunate to meet several of them.

A big heartfelt thank you to each of you.
