Kudos to the Beaulieus!

It was a good idea! Surely one everyone would hope would never need to be used.

In this case...cold night...an elderly person...happy ending!

Thanks to that GPS tracking bracelet.

It could have ended differently.

When I met Ed Beaulieu and his lovely wife, Sue, today while shopping I could only express my appreciation for a great idea that proved important in quickly locating someone who had lost her way.

If you know of someone who might need a bracelet, might get lost, please share.

Maybe if you're looking for some early Christmas gifts, you might consider a few jigsaw puzzles. It could save someone's life.

It makes you think twice when you hear someone say 'if it only saves one person's life....'


GPS device helps locate Middleboro woman

MIDDLEBORO —
Project Life Saver’s GPS system was instrumental in locating an elderly woman who wandered from her home early Friday morning.


Police Chief Bruce D. Gates said the woman was reported missing from her Rocky Meadow Street home at 3 a.m.


Sgt. Joseph M. Perkins scrambled the State Police air wing and called in officer Jerry J. Donahue and his dog, Caro, while officers Mark E. Meaney, Richard Harvey and Nathan J. Ferbert began searching.


Gates said Project Lifesaver activated a tracking device the woman was wearing on a bracelet and within 90 minutes she was found a few houses away, sitting in a neighbor’s van in her nightgown and shivering, Gates said.


Gates said an ambulance took her to Jordan Hospital in Plymouth to be checked.


Project Life Saver was donated to the town by the Future of Middleboro Trust.

Gates said several residents wear the bracelets for emergency situations. Gates said Ed Beaulieu, a trustee, raised the money by selling a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle of the Town Hall.

“It worked great and did what it was designed to do,” Gates said of the bracelet.
