That's today's Appalachian Wireless. The Floyd County Rescue Squad lost one of its very first this weekend with the passing of Darrell Budd Alexander. Alexander held every office that the squad had to offer over the course of his nearly 60 years of active membership. His is a legacy that squad members say no one will soon forget. Well, as an incident commander, for example, it's real hard to, even though I was a captain and he was just a member there the last few years that he was here, you know, I always, I still respect him and look to him for advice. And I did a lot, almost every time. What would Budd do? But Alexander was known to squad members to always do things the right way, taking personal responsibility to make sure that everyone made it home safe from their shift. You always knew that Budd was playing smart. He wouldn't, I used to refer to people, new ones, of course, that come in the squad as red light and siren guys. Not anything wrong with that. They want to help people, but they can't wait to get going and they get ahead of their self, which can cause them a problem or someone else. Not that they intentionally want to hurt themselves or someone else, but they have a tendency to jump a few steps a lot of times. Budd, you knew that was not going to happen. If it was not smart, not safe, he had a reason, and that was a very legitimate reason. A memorial service will be held for Alexander on Saturday at 1.30 at the Clark Legacy Center in Lexington.
