Bike Down!
« on: June 09, 2009, 05:56:37 PM »
Bruce is a good friend. Mike Vandergriff will remember him as the Wing rider who told us that Mike's lights were on at the gun show in Conroe. He was instructing the CHL course at Carter's Country. Bill Carter called tonight and said that Bruce is out of ICU, but he still has serious injuries and a long, painful recovery ahead. Operator's Edge is going to raffle off some merchandise (maybe a new Kimber pistol) to raise some money to help him out. I have to take an exam I can't cancel tomorrow evening, but I am going to try to visit him Thursday after work. Updates as they are available.

So sorry to hear about another one down.  My hopes are that he has a speedy and complete recovery.

Jim,

I am very sorry to hear of this accident and the tragedy.  Can the county be held responsible for this?  Unbelievable!  :(

Ridiculous that this happened. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.  >:(
