Dear Ann Landers,
was working on the Garrison Dam in • Riverdale, N.D. At that time, it was the largest earth-filled dam in the world. I was working on top of a 130-foot surge tank when a crane hit me in the back with a cable, throwing me off the tank. I was headed for the concrete below, with no chance of survival, when a man by the name of Floyd Hartman grabbed me around the waist. He had his safety belt on and caught me as I passed by him. I was taken to the hospital and didn't get a chance to thank him. That was his first and last day on that job, and I don't know where he went. So thank you, Floyd Hartman, for saving my life.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
