Awards event reunites samaritans with heart attack survivor

Scott Hendrix’s last conscious thought was, “If I can make it to the general store in Spicewood and get a water or something, maybe I’ll feel better.” On Nov. 6, 2024, Hendrix had been feeling “dazed and confused.” During phone conversations earlier that week, his sons remarked that “he was out of it.” After pulling over near Llano High School, Hendrix managed to drive to the Spicewood General Store, but upon arriving, he collapsed as he stepped out of his truck.
