A TRAJIC ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED

There may be some of you who have not yet received the word about the serious accident that our beloved Bruce Rathburn had during the Thanksgiving weekend.

He was assembling a new deer blind in South Texas and was off the ground about 16 feet whenone of the metal frame struts split and caused him to fall all the way back to earth, crushing his L1 vertebrae. Fortunately, his boys were with him and they were able to phone home and turn the heavy duty decision making over to their Mom to get emergency medical help to pick him up and transport him to the hospital in Corpus Christi where they operated on his back. Bruce was finally released to the rehab center in San Antonio where he spent several weeks learning how to deal with the pain and how to start the painful journey to learn to walk again.
