Man's revival spurs CPR training for parks staff
Woods saved a man's life.
Donnie Woods was watching a pickup basketball game at the Avery Street recreation center when a young man collapsed on the court.
It came without warning, said Woods, a part-time parks and recreation worker. Twenty-year-old Tristan Mason went down like a ton of bricks and appeared to have a seizure.
Woods hadn't taken a CPR class in years, but he had recently written a paper about cardiopulmonary resuscitation for an English class at Mount Olive College.
