Child Found By Ham Operater

A 2 year old boy which wondered into a cornfield and went missing
around 10:00pm Thursday was found today. Rick Russell KG4BFG
of Powell Tennessee,along with several other Amateur Operaters,Jefferson County Sheriff
Deputies and Rescue Squad,as well as the Knox County Sheriff's Deputies and Air Watch
helped with search efforts in Jefferson County Tennessee,just off Silver Lane, for Cody Humbard,
a 2 year old child who wandered into a cornfield last night and was found shortly
after 9:00 am this morning when Rick Russell walked up on him, during the search. The search had lasted all night
according to reports from the news media and those who had started the search last night. The boy's
grandmother had told the police the family searched for the child for about a half hour, before calling 911 to
get more help for the search.. There was a lot of concern due to the ponds in the area, that he may
get close to them but all that concern had left this morning after Rick Russell found Cody. Request for more help by John,KI4YZG, another local Ham Operater,
was transmitted over the 145.470 repeater owned by Mr. Tim Berry, Over 100 people was involved in the search. Our thanks to Rick Russell, Paul Belcher W4ZAZ, who brought Rick Russell, Scott  and John, and all the Amateur Radio  Operaters, all the Emergency Personal and Citizens who helped with the search and rescue of little Cody..
