In regard to the letter, “Is Standish EMS a service or a revenue source?” published Friday, Nov. 27, many people from the state of Maine have gone on to greatness. This is due to the fact that something in their lives has inspired them.

The Wyeth family was inspired by Maine’s great beauty, and some girl lying in a field of grass. Steven King and his wife Tabitha were inspired by visions that I have not had in my head since the psychodelic mushroom salads I used to eat in the 1960s. One never knows when inspiration will hit them.

All my life I have wanted to write a great script for a movie or TV pilot. I did try a few times. However censorship, the moral majority, and every church in Maine put an end to my scripts. Now, however, after reading the letter referring to Standish EMS as a source of revenue, I have been inspired to try again. This time, my script will be about a group of men and women who get out of a nice, warm bed at 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve. They spend hours in a cold ditch keeping a teenager alive until Life Flight comes. My script will be about these same men and women doing life support in the back of a rescue at 60 mph on a 28-year-old girl who is seven months pregnant and in cardiac arrest. I will even write about them saving elderly people who have fallen in their homes and have been alone for so long, unable to get up, that they would have died if these men and women had not intervened. I have no idea if I will be rich and famous over this script or not. But I will feel good writing it.

Keep an eye out for it. I am going to call it, “Thank God for Blue Arms.”
