I have always donated blood, starting in highschool. When I was a kid in Atmore and a blood shortage would occure, the radio announcer on the Atmore A.M. station would say like ” So and So was shot at the Line last night, we need anybody with O negative blood to come on down to the Greenlawn and donate”. People would head right on down and give.
