Subject: OT, Bad week for car guys in HSV AL
> Hey all -
>
> Last week was not a good week for us car guys in Huntsville, Alabama.
>
> My friend with the E-Type (Alan) is in the Impala SS club. One on their
> members was working on a car as it was running and it fell off the jack.
> The car pinned him with the catalytic converter resting on his leg. He
was
> trapped almost for 2 hours before he was found. The burns on his leg were
> so severe that they had to amputate it. He is doing well at the local
> hospital.
>
> Our daughter (Malori- 3 years old) has a boy friend (Drew) in day care.
> Drew and Malori have been the best of friends for 2 years and do
everything
> together. Drew's dad is a fellow Nissan lover (likes the KA24 motors) and
> works on cars for extra cash on the weekends. Over the years our families
> have grown close. Very nice people. Last Wednesday Drew's dad (Joe) was
> changing the fuel filter on a truck and gas dumped on him. He had a drop
> light under the truck with him and it ignited the gas. Joe suffered burns
> on 80% of his upper body and will require many skin grafts. He is at the
> UAB burn center in Birmingham AL. His is doing much better then expected
> and will have surgery next week. In the attempt to put out the fire on
Joe,
> his wife burned her hands pretty bad. She is with Joe and Drew is staying
> with us for the next couple of weeks. Drew is adjusting very good and
talks
> about his dad and the fire a lot which is good. Also, their house
received
> a lot of damage.
>
> Sorry to start the week off on a bad note. Please be careful when you
work
> on the Roadsters and other cars. And, please include these guys in your
> prayers.
