Al- though Mr. Norris said he knew it was part of a fire- fighters' training to keep him alert, to him "he was the only friend I had left in the world. I was lying there and I didn't want him to leave me until my mom and dad came. He didn't," Mr. Norris wrote in his letter.

He remained at the victim's side until the air ambulance came, and although he wanted to accompany him on the flight space could no ac- commodate him Mr. Norris also thanked the staff of Community Memorial Hospital in his letter saying he believes they saved his leg and his life Mayor Howard Hall, you are a lucky man to have so many kind. caring people living in vour town ship ...or should I say I am lucky," he said Mr. Norns, along with his father were present at council last. week to present Mr. Parker with his award All I can say is I am for- ever grateful," Mr. Norris said -- All 1996 Models Available for Imi Money Saving Discounts Deducted fr 01 96 GRAND PRIX GTP....................
