1st Annual TSA CPR Training at the Capitol
A Great Success!
On Friday, May 7, 2010 over 150 Capitol staff were trained in CPR. Staff from every office were invited to attend the training, which consisted of a 30-minute course entitled “CPR Anytime.” The course included a small inflatable mannequin and an instructional DVD. Staff learned how to use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), and after completing the training course, took free CPR Anytime kits back to their respective offices so they could train their co-workers, families and others.
First Lady Anita Perry welcomed the Capitol Staff at the 10 a.m. session. With AT&T as our corporate sponsor, the support of the American Heart Association, and the Seton Family of Hospitals, the day was a “Great Success!”

TSA Past President
Representative/Doctor Zerwas
Saves Colleague’s Life
What’s the value of having a doctor – or two – in the House? Ask the family of State Rep. Ed Kuempel (R-Seguin). The veteran lawmaker suffered a heart attack in a capitol elevator during a late night session.
Anesthesiologist Rep. John Zerwas, MD (R-Richmond), supervised the work to resuscitate Representative Kuempel before ambulances arrived to rush him to the hospital.
“Dr. Zerwas saved Edmund’s life,” House Administration Committee Chair Charlie Geren (R-Fort Worth) said the next day as the House gave a standing ovation to Representative Zerwas and Rep. Mark Shelton, MD (R-Fort Worth).
