Everyone at the Music in the Glen finale last Thursday witnessed a tragic human drama, as one of the Kiwanis volunteers experienced a scary seizure while staffing the event.

Fortunately, paramedics were on the scene as part of the planned celebration, and others were able to respond almost immediately.

A WG community member recalls the moment on her weblog:

As we were ordering, the old Kiwanis Club man serving the food, began to collapse, his brain, you could see was being attacked — aneurysm? stroke? He fell to the ground right in front of me, shaking violently from the seizures that overcame him. I was horrified, frozen.

I couldn’t move back and I couldn’t move forward, I was trying to stay calm for the kids and people scurried to his side. …

The fire trucks and ambulance came and the music finally stopped. We all stood there stunned. The kids all wanted stickers from the fire fighters. The EMT was calling out, “Hurry!”

Samantha Fein had originally shared the event through the Twitter microblog system, and followed up with her full thoughts on Friday.

Of course, our thoughts and prayers are all with the injured man.
