This little spattering of rain isn't...

His first call was within weeks of his 16th birthday. “I assisted my father in transporting an elderly woman to the hospital,” recalled Wally Wright. “We picked her up in the old red Cadillac.

"We drove out to the Elochoman and my father and I picked her up and put her inside. I went to get in the passenger seat and my father told me that I had to ride in the back. ‘What am I supposed to do?’ I...
