The Salt Lake City (Utah) chapter of the American Red Cross held its annual Heroes banquet to honor those who saved a live during 2009, and Utah Highway Patrol dispatcher Kathy Jo Hall was one of the two recognized. Hall fielded a telephone call from a man whose boat had capsized on the Great Salt Lake during a wintry January day as he and a friend were duck hunting. Both men were in the freezing water while emergency units raced to find and rescue them. During the call, Hall made a personal connection with the man to let them know help was on the way, and kept him positive despite the pain from being in the water. Both men were rescued and recovered. Read a story here.
