North Country Life Flight's first Chief Flight Nurse, Anne Gregoire, stopped by to help us celebrate 25 years of serving the Adirondack North Country. Not only was it great seeing her, she looked great (as one of her fellow crew members immediately noted upon seeing her). Thanks, Anne, for coming home for a day (albeit a very rainy day)—home being inside a helicopter where you spent a lot of time and made a tremendous difference in a lot of lives. Thank you for helping make these 25 years noteworthy.  Anne is photographed with our present Chief Flight Nurse, Chuck Pandolph.   Photos by Lindsay Munn.

Your support of NYSP, TLVFD, SLVFD and EMS—ground and air is truly appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed.

Happy 4th of July!   Be safe!
