Letter to the Editor: Looking for our Guardian Angel

To the Editor:
My husband, Rocky, is looking for the medic who saved his life in June of 1967. Rocky caught his leg in a power take-off and couldn't get it out because he had on new jeans which didn't rip. It was on Hwy. 9 about seven miles east of Decorah.
The medic was home on leave from Vietnam. He was wearing a white shirt and navy pants. He tore off his white shirt and tied it around Rocky’s leg and applied pressure points to stop the bleeding or he would have bled out. He went with Rocky and Paul Estrem to the Decorah Hospital.
Rocky never got his name or was able to thank him for it. He just seemed to disappear like a guardian angel who did what he needed to do and then left. We would appreciate anyone who would be able to help us find him.
We would also like to find out the names of the nurses in the Emergency Room that day. They made Dr. Dines keep him in Decorah. He wanted to send him to Rochester, but the nurses told him that he would die before he got there.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Please contact us with any information you might have by e-mail at olsonjanmarie49@gmail.com. Thank you.
