Fourth-year medical student
Carlan Wendler worked with Ash-
burn this past March in the car-
diothoracic department, which
specializes in chest surgeries, as
part of his medical school training.
He said Ashburn was hardworking
and always quick to laugh.
An avid hunter, Ashburn was
known to demonstrate his turkey
call in the operating room, Wendler
said.
"He was the kind of person we
all want tobe like when we grow up
into doctors," he said.
Punch described Lapensee as
fairly quiet and conscientious. He
said Lapensee enjoyed flying and
also worked as a fireman.
Fourth-year medical student
Albert Kim spent part of his medi-
cal school training working with
Lapensee in November 2005.
Kim said Lapensee took his job
seriously and worked long -hours,

but he was always pleasant and
easygoing.
He said Lapensee was someone
who you wanted to be around and
work with.
"He was really hardworking," he
said.
Kim said during his first organ
recovery mission Lapensee noticed
him sitting in the back of the heli-
copter and told Kim that next time
he should sit in the front so that he
would be able to see.
On Kim's next flight, he said Lap-
ensee immediately remembered
him and pulled him aside so he
could sit in the front of the helicop-
ter.
"It was one of the highlights of
my year," he said.
In a press conference Friday
morning, Punch said another pair of
lungs was successfully transplanted
to the patient who was to receive
the organs lost in the crash. He is

Lungtransplantdirector Andrew
Chang said that although the hospi-
tal treated this patient the same as
any other patient, there was added
anxiety for the man's recovery after
last week's tragedy.
"We were all very hopeful for this
gentleman," he said. "We don't want
this to have happened in vain."
