Quick action by a local Transportation and Security Administration agent saved one local family from a trip to the hospital Wednesday afternoon, according to James Studley who contacted the Empire via email.<\/p>\n

The Studley family of Haines — James, Janice and Nicole — were traveling through Juneau International Airport on their way to a wedding in California when the family’s daughter began choking on a grape, Studley said.<\/p>\n

But thanks to the quick reflexes of TSA Lead Officer Brenda Irizarry the grape was dislodged from Nicole’s throat and the Studleys were able to safely continue their journey.<\/p>\n

“We are extremely thankful to the excellent training that Brenda has obviously received,” Studley said in an email.<\/p>\n

Nicole Studley, 26, has multiple physical disabilities, James Studley said, and recently recovered from a five-week stay at Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage.<\/p>\n

The Empire was notified of the incident by James Studley who sent photos by email Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Thought a good deed should not go unspoken,” James said in an email to Empire. “Thank you TSA Brenda.”<\/p>\n

The TSA could not be reached for comment by the end of business hours Wednesday.<\/p>\n
