Up date from WOG. Sounds like he hit something in the road.

While Michele and I are up here at the Michigan Rally, Michele got a quick message from Nancy Boudreaux. It appears that she and her husband John(HUNTER sign-in on WOG) have been involved in an accident, in their new to them, 2005 M450. Some of the facts are a little sketchy but this is what I know so far. They were in Iowa, on their way back from a family funeral. There was an object in the road, I'm not sure what it was, they hit it and I believe a front tire blew and John had only a couple of options and the best one was to head for the side of the road and he hit a tree. Nancy was able to get out but John was trapped. The first responders arrived and used the Jaws of Life but they weren't strong enough to do the job. They then had to get "some special saw" according to Nancy to cut him out. Nancy ended up with a compression fracture of the lower vertebrae but is out of the hospital. John is in the hospital with severe laceration of one of his legs, from thigh to near ankle area. He has already had two surgeries in the last two days. More to come most likely. Nancy said that she hope he will be released next week to come home.

I told her that if John needs help getting home that we as a group would try and see what we can do to help. I know it is not my place to speak up but if need be I will go get them myself and take care of it. I also told her all my and Michele's thoughts and prayers are with them and I am sure that all WOG members share those feelings.

In addition, Nancy asked me to see if I could cancel their WOG Rally reservations. I told her that I would most likely not be able to do this but in this sort of emergency that maybe John Styles could help out. So John, if it isn't asking too much, would you be able to assist with this issue? This would be one thing off of Nancy's plate, which would help them a lot.

Nancy told me she would send me some pics of the coach as soon as she can. I will post them as soon as I get them.
