Gainesville dispatcher Laura Polmateer’s lifesaving actions for an old friend made her a recent award recipient during the annual Texoma Regional 911 Telecommunicators Banquet in Sherman.
Polmateer underwent surgery in December 2019 to donate her kidney to someone she has been friends with since “at least” junior high school and was honored with a lifesaving award at the Texoma Council of Governments’ Feb. 27 dinner.
