For the past 20 years, Greg Roberts, 56, has spent New Year’s Day volunteering for the American Red Cross, treating participants and spectators of the parade for slips and falls, chest pains, hypothermia and hyperthermia — mostly among band marchers, who can easily overheat. Roberts and his Red Cross compatriots arrived at the parade route at 5:30 a.m.
“We’re all volunteers and do it because we want to help the public,” he said.
