In 2005, Charlotte Observer writer Michael Gordon wrote an article titled, “Life, Death and Terry Hanson.”
In the article, Gordon documents three separate times in Hanson’s life, when he was in the right place at the right time to come to a person’s rescue.
1970- While Hanson was the baseball and soccer coach at St. Benedict’s College in Atchison, Kan., he performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a retired Army officer, who had collapsed in front of Hanson’s office. At the age of 23, Hanson was unable to save his life.
1972- Hanson’s friend, Ed Ireland, goes missing on a Saturday night after closing the Knights of Columbus in Atchison, Kan with Hanson and friend Richard Dyer. The following Monday, Hanson, Dyer and Ireland’s brother go searching for their friend. They stop at every skid mark on a 20-mile stretch of highway. By a stroke of luck, Dyer slips down an embankment and spots Ireland pinned underneath his car in the mud.
1991- Lloyd Cox ,86 at the time, collapsed at a baseball game. Nearby, Hanson rushed over and performed CPR on Cox for ten minutes. Afterward a paramedic tells onlookers had Hanson not stepped into action, they would have watched Cox die.
2005- Hanson is at a lunch meeting with friend Andy Abdow, when Abdow collapses at the restaurant from a heart attack. Hanson performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while two other men assist. Abdow is later stabilized by repeated shocks from a defibrillator at a hospital where he stays for 15 days.
