Kent Cunningham, Security Officer, Cathedral Hill Hotel
Not one, but
two acts of heroism on the same sunny afternoon at the JdV company picnic earned Kent Cunningham his Beyond the Call of Duty honor. Kent, a retired police officer, works part-time as a Security Officer. While monitoring the area, Kent noticed a child flailing in the pool. Without hesitation he jumped in, fully clothed, and pulled out the terrified child to safety. No sooner was he dried off than, amazingly, another youngster was in trouble in the deep end. In he goes again, pulling out the child to safety, this time the weight of the water made his trousers drop, revealing his "Sponge Bob Square Pants" boxer shorts Father's Day gift. Witnesses to these rescues were both relieved and amused by the scene. All in a day's work for Kent!
