Eric William Fruin helped to rescue Jack D. Tatman from burning, Okoboji, Iowa, July 11, 1980. Tatman, 56, was severely injured when his airplane crashed alongside a one-story frame apartment house, the flames spreading to the building and increasing rapidly on it and the aircraft. Fruin, 34, loan officer, and another man, ran to the wreckage and, reaching beneath flames, pulled Tatman out of the aircraft minutes before it was engulfed. Tatman’s burns were minor. 57356-6513
