Sean,
I understand that the Redcross charges for CPR and first aid classes but
locally the Amarican Heart Association does likewise.  I have no way of
comparing charges at the moment but I feel what is considered obscene is
realative.  While the stories related to you by your grandmother and
friend may be true, but that doesn't mean that that is the Red Cross
operates.   I tend to believe that the actions of the persons in the
ancedotal tales where acting on their own intitiative. Sean, your
relating to us your comments to us one the Red Cross training are the
first hand comments seen so far.
