Local blood donor reaches milestone

Louie Huart of Kettering reached a milestone on his Aug. 25 visit to the Dayton Community Blood Center Donor Center. He gave his 200th lifetime blood donation. "It was probably back in '85 or '86," he said about the beginning of the journey, as quoted in a press release. "Probably back when I started work at Standard Register. Then I started coming down here to the Community Blood Center." Louie and his wife Bonnie have been married 41 years. They have two daughters and five grandchildren. As a whole blood donor, he must wait eight weeks between donations. Learn more at www.GivingBlood.org.
