Teen saves woman's life, seven years after she saved his

February 5, 2006, 11:57 AM EST

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) _ A Buffalo-area teenager recently got the chance to thank the woman who saved his life _ by saving hers.

The 17-year-old successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver on the choking woman in the Depew restaurant where he was washing dishes. Then his mother recognized the woman as the nurse who performed CPR on him in 1999 after he was struck in the chest by a baseball bat.

More than a week after the Jan. 27 incident, Kevin Stephan and Penny Brown are still surprised by the coincidence.

"It was meant to happen," says Stephan, now a volunteer firefighter. "I'm Catholic, and I believe the Lord kind of set things up."

"One good turn deserves another," Brown says.

The intensive-care nurse at Buffalo General Hospital says she can't think too much about the situation "without being freaked" by it.

My aunt's husband is a firefighter and was rescued from an underground fire on the BART train under the San Francisco Bay by a colleague, and 10 years later pulled the rescuer's son out alive from under the freeway that was crushed during the World Series earthquake in 88'.
