Pamela Smith, Magistrate & Standing Master at Alaska Court System in Nome, gives an emotional speech during a Silver Lifesaving Medal award ceremony in Anchorage, Saturday, May 18, 2019. Smith thanked her long-time friend George "Radar" Lambert for heroic actions he took as a young boy to save her from drowning in Kotzebue, Alaska. Then 10-year-old Lambert saved 12-year-old Smith from drowning June 22, 1998, which was the first documented save using a lifejacket from the Kids Don't Float program.
