Patients need your blood donations To the editor: Last year our community honored individuals who served our community in a rather unique way. We honored 14 individuals who had donated more than 80 times during blood drives. For every one pint donated, three lives are saved, according to the Kentucky Blood Center. One of those long-time donors was Billy Hardy. In his lifetime, he had donated over 128 pints of blood. Billy passed away this past week and he will be missed by family and friends.
