Wesley Autrey - Hero Saves Man's Life
Biography

Mr. Wesley Autrey is a genuine hero. He risked his own life to save the life of a fellow New Yorker who fell onto the subway tracks. Excerpt: "Who has ridden along New York’s 656 miles of subway lines and not wondered: 'What if I fell to the tracks as a train came in? What would I do?' And who has not thought: 'What if someone else fell? Would I jump to the rescue?' Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker and Navy veteran, faced both those questions in a flashing instant yesterday, and got his answers almost as quickly."
