Letter to the Editor
As many of you may have heard, I suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday, December 13, at Anytime Fitness here in St. James. Thanks to the many people for the life-saving help they gave me: Anytime Fitness, St. James police, St. James Ambulance service, Mayo – St. James Emergency room, Mayo – St. Mary’s Rochester, and Eyecare Center of St. James.
