David Samuel: "In Spring of 1983 we were cleaning out our storage room in Whitman Hall, and we uncovered these home made first aid pouches. We ended up using them during the Special Olympics."

Jean Buzz Rosenthall: "They were modeled after National Ski Patrol first aid belts, or for those who remember the original Batman, his utility belt."

Dan Vindigni: "Fall 1977 we used them at a walk-a-thon in downtown Albany"
