Bruce Trautmann started donating in 1966. There are few people out there who have donated as much blood as he has.
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo –- Walk into the Vitalant Blood Donation Center in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, on a day that Bruce Trautmann is there and you know you’re in the presence of greatness.“Today we are celebrating my 90th gallon,” Bruce says with a grin.
Since that first donation in 1966, Trautmann has sat in the donor seat more than 700 times. While his first donations were blood donations, he switched to donating platelets along the way. They have a shorter shelf life, but Trautmann says they also get used more often. “I've gotten to the point where I bring in my laptop and I go to one of the streaming sites, you know, and watch a movie, that type of thing," Trautmann said.
