A record-setting 61 pints of blood were collected in early September at a blood drive held in downtown Annapolis at the request of an Anne Arundel County sheriff's deputy.
The drive, at the Anne Arundel Medical Center Bloodmobile, collected blood from donors who work at the Anne Arundel County Court House and who live and work in the community. It was held at the request of a deputy - the Sheriff's Office is in the courthouse - who had received many transfusions for cancer treatment.
