"He weighs 5 pounds, 3 ounces and everything look very good," said Dr. Robert Winn of the Park City Clinic. The drama of David's birth began early the morning of February 2 when his mother Glenda Petereit went into premature labor at their . . home in Evanston. After calling the University Hospital where she planned to deliver her baby, she and her husband Robert began the 80 mile trip to Salt Lake.

Mrs. Petereit was immediately transported to the clinic by ambulance. David was delivered minutes later. His life at the time was credited to the hasty response of the EMTs and to the two doctors, Winn and Schwenk. |
