"It's been a lot of years ago when she tried to talk me into giving blood at the hospital. She finally called my twin brother and he came in and gave blood only because he thought I had been giving blood. After that I gave blood and on the 1st draw she poked a hole in the tubing and had to throw the by the way. She felt so bad but I told her it was okay and I give many many gallons after that. She worked in the best department at the hospital and those girls sure had fun in their working together."
