Being Awarded
Kole decided to tie a loop with the rope, and have the boy wrap it around his body. The boy, whose name was Ralph Chartrand, was finally pulled out of the freezing river via towing. Thankfully Kole’s plan worked, and he was able to rescue the boy before he froze to death. 16-year old Devisscher was awarded for his ‘herioc act,’ to which he responded, “I hope someone else would do that for me if I was in the same situation.”
