stories like this:
During an Easter egg hunt in Monticello on March 26, 2005, a girl fell through the ice on Lake Montesian while fetching an egg. [Ashton] Crouch, who had received Red Cross Basic Aid Training, raced out to the girl and extended his leg to her. She was able to pull herself out of the water to safety.When he saw the girl fall through the ice, Crouch remembered the training he had received: "When somebody is drowning you stick out something long and sturdy to pull themselves in with."
When Ashton's mother, Jill Crouch, came to pick him up at the end of the day, he asked her not be angry because he was wet.:) I think she forgave him.
