(San Diego, CA) — An 86-year-old man has just donated his 200th gallon of blood. Bob Fisher has been donating at the San Diego Blood Bank since 1976. Records show he’s donated various blood products over 930 times. He donates triple platelets every couple of weeks and also donates for medical research conducted through the blood bank. He retired from three jobs in the military, both as an enlisted man and a civilian. As a volunteer, he filed taxes for people for 20 years and he taught AARP safe driving lessons for another 10 years. He’s SDBB’s only 200-gallon donor, which makes him the top donor at San Diego Blood Bank.
