    On Febuary 25, 2012 during the Sudan Prowlers reverse raffle, Karen Hobbs, wife of Noble Frank Hobbs, jumped from her seat during her steak dinner - she was choking!  Without hesitation Noble David Mosley recognized what was happening and sprang into action . Very calmly but quickly David grabbed Karen and performed the Heimlich maneuver freeing the obstruction.  Karen was very thankful that her long time friend David was there, quickly analyzed the situation and knew what to do.

      During the March general membership meeting at the Rocky Mount Shrine Club Noble Mosley was presented a Life Saving award by Joshua Cain from the American Red cross.  Mr.Cain praised David for his heroic action and encouraged all at the meeting to take the same life saving course David had taken.

     Noble Mosley was also presented a special Life Savers Award       Jerry Tharrington, Red Cross's Joshua Cain,

from Sudan Temple, presented by Sudan Marshall Carl Smith            Karen Hobbs, David Mosley, and Carl Smith
