It is heartbreaking! A young man here in OK fell during a pep assembly and
broke his neck. He is an avid angler and my brother knows them through the
fishing club he is in. The young man regained movement quickly and appears
he will make a full recovery. He is one of the fortunate ones. Prayers for
Travis and his family.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Accident

It simply kills me to hear of another young person becoming a quad. A local
high school baseball team is in Florida to play in a tournament. Yesterday
the team went to the beach during free time.  One of the young men, Travis
Gaines, dived into the surf and hit a sandbar. Serious injury and instant
paralysis. The accident is almost identical to mine back in 1971.  He has
already had emergency surgery and is critical condition. He attends
Lexington Dunbar high school in Lexington KY, just a stone's throw from me.
You can google for the full story. Heartbreaking.
