Carman Leonard Smith & Olga Enciso Smith
A Loma Prieta Earthquake survivor and his wife
Hello Aaron, Thank you for taking my call. This is hard for me because my husband was at the Cypress viaduct when the quake happened. He broke his back and was trapped for about 4 hrs. He was coming home to Los Gatos from work in Berkeley. Sadly my husband Carman Leonard Smith died in March of this year. This is his obituary http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mercurynews/obituary.aspx?n=carman-smith&pid=170150561 He died due to a fall while hanging clothes in the line he broke his hip. After surgery his recovery got complicated by bronchitis and pneumonia and many of his vital organs began to fail. After 24 years of the metal rods in his back his legs began to weaken and pain began to bothered him the last 5 years. But he was a "tough old bird" and stubbornly helped around the house, volunteered at the SJC Airport and traveled to the rain forest of Peru. In 2007 he was interviewed by Discovery Channel for the special "Decoding Disaster" regarding the infrastructure in our nation. I learned about Trauma Preparation from the community/family/friends network point to be able to recover from such a horrific event. We need people: neighbors, friends, family and community. This has been my experience. While I'm still grieving my husband's death, I'm available and would like to speak to the firefighters and paramedics who saved his life. Sincerely, Olga Enciso Smith

Allied Ambulance
911 EMS Provider in Oakland, California
David Burns, CEM
Allied Ambulance (also known as Bay Cities Ambulance) was headquartered in Oakland, California, at 1510 MacArthur Blvd, near Highland General Hospital. (The house is still there). Allied was formed from 3 bay area ambulance companies (Doctors, Bay Cities, Electric Ambulance) that merged into what would be known as Allied Ambulance on January 1, 1977.
Allied was staffed by EMS personnel who previously worked at Valley, Acme Western, Regional, Mobile Life Support (MLS), and other affiliated ambulance companies in the SF Bay Area. Many Allied staff joined Regional/AMR in 1990.
Allied Ambulance was the primary ambulance service provider for East Oakland, the City of Alameda, and Emeryville. Allied units ran using #40 series call signs for East Oakland, #30 series for Alameda, and #20 series call signs for West Oakland.
Prior to 1982, the 9-1-1 ambulance system was run primarily by EMT-1A personnel. In 1982, Alameda County began a pilot Paramedic program, and adopted full paramedic services in 1984 through 1987. Paramedic Units ran from PM41 to PM47, EMT units ran from AP46 to AP49, “AP” stood for “Ambulance Private.”
Prior to 1984, Allied also served the island of Alameda as its primary ambulance provider (AP33). Alameda Fire ran tandem with Allied from 1982 to 1984 until ALCO approved single provider service. Allied Ambulance maintained a crew station on Alameda island. Alameda Fire began solo EMT transport services in 1984.
In the late 1980’s, Allied took over the West Oakland area formerly served by Acme Western Ambulance.
Allied Ambulance and its crews were at ground zero for earthquake operations centered around the October 17, 1989 (Loma Prieta) earthquake and Highway 880 (Nimitz) Cypress freeway collapse.
After many decades serving Oakland, Allied Ambulance lost its service contract and ended services in June 1990.
Many people started their careers through Allied as Emergency Medical Technician’s, Paramedics, and dispatchers.
As a result of the experiences working at Allied, many folks have moved into positions as Police & Fire Administrators, nurses, doctors, PA’s, emergency managers, and other positions around the SF Bay Area, California, and beyond.
Thanks to David Burns, former Allied Ambulance Paramedic Supervisor.

Mission Control for the International Space Station, 2014
President Kennedy, Rice University on May 25, 1961
Your Son or Daughter
Visionaries
Visionary thought leaders around the globe
Kennedy would have challenged us to overcome any problem with creative and dynamic new thinking! His speech in 1961 focused the US space effort, Apollo 11 landed men on the moon and now we have humans permanently in orbit with a launching pad for Mars.
How can your son or daughter change the world? Build a Glass App!
They can follow the lead of thousands of young innovators in technology and help create something brand new, just like 21 year old creator of the Oculus Rift, Palmer Luckey which was backed by donations from Kickstarter. His company was recently acquired by Facebook for $2,000,000,000.

Two other noted Google Glass innovators are also planning discussions and Q& A sessions. Ned Sahin, PhD, will be giving everyone a glimpse into advancements in potential treatment for Autism (Brain Power LLC) and John Scott will show us the future of integrating surgical monitoring technology with Google Glass (Context Surgery).

Aaron Michael Janssen
Aaron Janssen started his journey in 1984, when at 16, he joined the volunteer fire department in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1985 he arrived first on the scene of a structure fire with another firefighter before any BCFD engines. They entered without airpacks and rescued the elderly family, Aaron was given a Citation of Merritt from the Mayor of Albuquerque, NM.
He later worked in South Central LA and as an EMT in Oakland at Allied Ambulance during the late 1980s. He responded to the Cypress Structure collapse and earthquake related fires/accidents plus numerous 911s calls during the next 72 hours. Aaron and many others received awards for their service from the County of Alameda, California during the crisis.
In 1994, after spending over 10 years in Fire and EMS, Aaron transitioned into network engineering, where he designed, then managed Albuquerque Public School’s Wide Area Network. Subsequently relocating to Phoenix to work for McAfee in 1999, Aaron took a position as Sales Engineering Director for Europe based in London, England for several years.
