NEW WRITE UP: as of Feb 11, 2017 Divoreced in 2012. Married to Becky Holt September 6. 2014. We live on a small farm and raise sheep and alpacas. I since restored a 1961 Case Loader\Backhoe. I love to hunt and snowmobile. I'm still wrenching on other projects. More to add soon OLD WRITE UP: Here is a letter I recently sent to a friend of mine on classmates.com from my hometown school. Due to recent injury and a possible class reunion this year I expect people will have a lot of questions, so I figured I'd add to them now, to avoid all those repetitive questions which gets stressful. Plus something juicy for you to gossip about since I am so famous now! LOL. Dear (the person reading this) On June 19, 2004 I was picnicking with my family east of Manning Park but not in Manning Park. We were starting to have a bbq of fish in an old logging landing. My wife's father used to take her camping there when she was a little girl. About 4:30 p.m. I got up out of my lawn chair and started walking towards the fire. We initially had our lawn chairs by the vehicles for lunch and yet had moved our chairs close to the fire pit. As I was walking the 20 feet to the fire I heard a whistling\whooshing noise. Before I could figure what the noise was coming from, I was on the ground and coming to. A 140 foot dead tree fell from 120 feet away and struck me on the left arm just below the outside of the shoulder. I went flying sideways by the impact of the tree. The result was a broken arm (humerous), four broken ribs, punctured lung, bruised spleen, nerve damage to the left arm, and a minor traumatic brain injury. As of today, March 6, 2007, all my bones are healed, but the nerves are still re-growing down my left arm. As for the brain injury, I hope it's gone but will not know for certain until I am off my medication. I am on meds for nerve pain and to reduce anger\irratableness. I just went for a check on February the 20th of this year, for nerve re-growth in my left arm and the results are not good. My left shoulder and elbow are working pretty good, but my left wrist does not extend. My my first two fingers next to my thumb and my thumb still have some movement and strength. I have a wrist splint that holds my left wrist extended so that I have good strength hanging onto things, such as steering wheels, a drumstick, vice grips, dinner knife, hugging my family, lol. lots more but I could go on forever. I have pictures that I took three months after the accident of the tree. I could send you a link to them if you want. They are on "my space" at msn: whatsgod...Expand for more
