ONES Kaila and Chris Riter were doubly blessed in 2001 with the addition of twins Garritt and Shayne...and the two Air Life flights it took to bring them into the world safely. Ten weeks early, the twins were delivered via C-section at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend. Today, they're thriving in La Grande. Thanks to the air/ground combo gift membership they got from Kaila s mother, Kaila and Chris saved nearly $25,000 in medical transport costs between Air Life and ground emergency services. This season, give the gift of life. Air Life's flight team, coordinating with local ground crews, is up and flying in moments. For only $45 annually, gift memberships protect your loved ones from out-of-pocket costs in the event of medical emergency transport. /■ m Lire.. •M Give the gift of life! 300 - 353-0497 Morrow County School District # 1 News Dorothy E.
