Ed Robertson’s Remarkable 70 Year Red Cross Story Along the way in the Boston journey, I transported caseworkers from the chapter to a local service center after a 24-family fire. One of them was a very special woman who accepted my proposal, and we were married in June 1958. We were a Red Cross family. |
Stephanie Millian – Promoting Blood Donations – and then Needing Lifesaving Blood Recovery was long and challenging; I spent three months relearning how to walk, one step at a time. Years later, one thing is crystal clear: I owe my life to the skill and dedication of my doctors, nurses, and surgeon, the support of my family and friends, and the blood donors whose generosity made those transfusions possible. |

"I joined ARCAN to keep in touch with the people, but also with the Red Cross mission. I tell my friends who are former Red Cross colleagues that the Red Cross has an amazing work force, and experts in a lot of different things. I recommend that people work continually to maintain their professional network, which I like to think of as my work community. Ask for help from others but offer it back if you can.”
Court Ogilvie, American Red Cross NHQ, 2002 - 2014
