| Mr.
Sullins and his partner took two patients to the
hospital, including one who was severely injured. On
their third run into the building, his partner went out
to the ambulance for supplies. She ended up in a New
Jersey hospital, unsure of how she got there. Sullins
did not escape.
Sullins has two
sons, a 4-year- old, Julian, and an 18-month-old,
Christian. Mrs. Sullins, 26, met her husband while she
was shopping in the East Village, and he pulled up on a
motorcycle ? "doing what young men on motorcycles
do," she said. "He caught my attention."
David Sullins
appears to have about $10,000 in life insurance,
according to his wife, Evelyn Sullins. She said that the
hospital had set up a trust fund for their children's
education.

David
Marc Sullins, EMT-P
Glendale, NY
age 31
Cabrini Hospital Medical Center
He was
a used car salesman, and for fun, he liked tooling around on motorcycles
with a bunch of friends who called themselves the Lost Boyz, after the
characters in "Peter Pan," the ones who never wanted to grow
up.
By 1995, though, David Marc Sullins thought he ought to do more with his
life. So he signed up for night school at Queensborough Community
College and at the age of 24 began a new chapter as a paramedic, said
his wife, Evelyn.
The work was strenuous but worth it, Mr. Sullins told his wife, who
recalls that he was soon packing Matchbox cars and Barbie figurines in
his trauma bag to calm the children in his care. One 5-year-old whom he
had brought to St. Vincent's with stomach pains was so enamored that
when she spotted him later at the hospital, she handed him a lollipop
from her pocket.
Another fringe benefit was his ability to work double shifts on Mondays
and Tuesdays so that he could have the next three days and alternate
weekends off to be with his sons Julian, 4, and Christian, nearly 2.
On Sept. 11, Mr. Sullins's ambulance sped from Cabrini Medical Center to
the trade center. Colleagues say he made at least three trips to local
hospitals with injured people he had pulled from the buildings before he
re-entered the south tower moments before its collapse.
