Perpetual Roach Reunion

Aaron Leth

All,
I am at work, and don't know if this is working properly, so hopefully you all get it. I wanted you to know that my good/best friend Aaron Leth experienced some tragedy last Thursday. Aaron is a middle school teacher over in Shelton, Washington. During lunch or recess, one of his students was outside playing and suddenly fell over and wasn't breathing. Another teacher ran out and started CPR. Aaron was soon out there helping the teacher out, then ran in to get the AED, or electric pads. He administered the shocking sequence and the other teacher did CPR exactly as they were trained.
The medics showed up a few minutes later and put the child in the ambulance. He died shortly after.

The consoling thing about the event is that Aaron did everything he could to save the child. He went by the books, but sometimes when the man upstairs makes a decision, we aren't always able to override it. I think our family knows best about that situation.

Well, I'm going to make this short. I wanted to give you Aaron's email address for now, and I will follow up with his home address. This was a traumatic experience and I think the guy could use some prayers and help.
