WHO SERVE.
WHO SERVE. IT IS DONE. PAT, YOU BEEN DOING
THIS ALMOST A YEAR NOW.
WE LOVE YOUR STORIES BECAUSE
THEY ARE INSPIRING.
>> I THINK SO ALSO.
WE FOCUS ON THE UNSUNG HEROES.
THEY DO A LOT TO HELP OUT THE
NEIGHBORHOODS.
NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY SHOULD GET A LITTLE PRAISE.
WE LIKE TO PAUSE THE TURN OF
BAD NEWS AND HERE IS SOMETHING
GOOD GOING ON.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE.
JOE, NOT WELL KNOWN IN PORTLAND
. HE IS A FAMILIAR NAME WHERE
HE WAS SHERIFF 20 YEARS.
BEFORE THAT, HE WAS A POLICE
OFFICER.
OFFICER.
OFFICER. HE HAS HELPED FIND HURT AND
MISSING PEOPLE IN MOUNTED.
WHY DOES HE DO IT?
IT'S PART OF HIS DNA.
HE IS DOING IT TODAY EVEN
THOUGH HE IS RETIRED AND HIS
SKILL AS PILING HIS AIRPLANE
USING EXPERIENCE TO KNOW WHERE
TO LOOK FOR THE LOST.
>> SINCE HISTORICALLY I HAD
BEEN INVOLVED, NOT ONLY ON
MOUNT HOOD BUT IN THE GORGE, IF
SOMEBODY GOT LOST HER PLACE, I
KNOW WHERE THEY END UP.
THAT REALLY HELPED CUT DOWN ON
THE TIME.
THE TIME.
THE TIME. ALSO, THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN
THESE THINGS, FOR THE MOST PART,
IT STILL HAPPENS THAT WAY TODAY.
THOSE SPENT DAYS AT THEIR, I
MEAN, THERE IS LIONS AND TIGERS
AND BEARS.
AND BEARS. >> NO KIDDING.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. I
>> YES. I MEAN, IT'S JUST FUN TO WATCH
PEOPLE, THE REACTION.
THAT IS FROM DAY ONE, JUST THIS
WEEK, THE SAME REACTION. I MEAN,
THANKFUL. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.
THEY CANNOT PAY ANYTHING AND
NOBODY CARES.
NOBODY CARES. YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW? THEY THINK YOU.
>> YOU CAN TELL THOSE THANK
YOUSE MEAN SO MUCH.
HE IS HUMBLE ABOUT WHAT HE
DOES.
DOES.
DOES. >>
DOES. >> I HAVE COVERED HIM OVER THE
YEARS BUT TO SPEND A COUPLE OF
HOURS WITH HIM WAS UNIQUE. WE
HEAR ABOUT THOSE WHO CLIMB THE
MOUNTAINS TO RESCUE PEOPLE.
THEY DO A GOOD JOB BUT THOSE
BEHIND THE SCENE, THERE ARE
SPOTTERS WHO WORK TO FIND OUT
WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE. THE
REASON WE DID THE STORY IS I
REMEMBERED OVER THE YEARS WHEN
I WAS COVERING SEARCHES, PEOPLE
WOULD SAY JOE, HE IS UP THERE
IN THE AIRPLANE.
HE WILL SPOT THE MISSING GUY.
IT WASN'T UNTIL I SAT DOWN WITH
HIM THAT I LEARNED HOW SKILLED
AND ACCURATE AREAS.
HE IS A PILOT AND HAS QUITE A
POSITIVE REPUTATION WITH THE
SEARCH TEAMS ON THE GROUND.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD
REPLACE JOE IN TERMS OF HIS
ABILITY TO RESCUE AND TO FLY
VERY AGGRESSIVELY.
VERY AGGRESSIVELY. YOU KNOW? THERE ARE TIMES WHERE
WE HAVE JOKED.
WE TRIED TO SCARE THE SUBJECT
HIM TO US. IT IS IMPRESSIVE LINE

TO DO THAT BUT HE GOES LOW.

FOREST, THERE'S A GENERAL GPS.
