LOCK HAVEN — The three youngsters were just goofing around and having a good time, strolling down a back street of Flemington in early September. That is, until they spotted the smoke. What happened next is a classic tale of cool wits and correct actions in the face of an emergency. On Thursday, the three young men were rewarded for their efforts — not that they would have asked for anything — on behalf of the Lock Haven Family Practice, 610 High St., Flemington. Craig Laubach, 15, of Lock Haven; Aaron Heck, 15, of McElhattan; and Andrew Weaver, 16, of Mill Hall, never thought they’d be drawn into an emergency response, and they never expected, nearly a month later, to stop by at the business and discover 30 or more grateful employees standing out in the parking lot waiting to thank them. The young men received a certificate. They each received a card signed by the entire staff. And each was given a $50 bill. The cash came as a complete surprise.
