top of the morning, friends...
had a very nice evening last night. went to applebee's and met colonel butch collins, his wife, s/lt. brenda collins, captain dave dicken, s/lt. carl roark, christy clark, my "retired bud" elzie fish, carla inglish, and kathy and bill mccarthy. food, beverages, and fellowship were abundant! it was great seeing everyone. kathy and bill even brought me some homemade beef stew and sweet cornbread! they really are taking the challenge of fattening me up! you should have seen carl. he had wing juice from ear to ear and all the way up to his elbows!!!!! it was a bit embarassing.
i also spoke with retired major fred goldstein, who is recovering from a knee replacement. if any of you OSP folks haven't called him yet, please do. i know he'd love hearing from you.
i also spoke with reverend ellsworth our OSP chaplain. his wife linda is recovering from either hip or knee replacement now and is scheduled to come home today. again, if any of the OSP folks can call and check up on her, it would be great, as well. the ellsworths have been absolutely wonderful to all of us.
i return to the plastic surgeon today so he can evaluate the graft (that in my opinion didn't take). so...we'll see.
i heard that gina herbert's benefit raised $2500! that should help gina with some of the medical bills! thanks to all the folks who planned and worked it, as well as the ones who supported gina during her time of need!
the tractor repair shop just delivered my tractor. maybe my hysterical neighbor -sam marino can get some more pictures of me trying to teach my friends how to properly manicure my lawn! lol
please continue to pray for cory winfield. brenda collins told me that he has been moved to a rehab center and is showing signs of improvement, however hasn't regained full consciousness yet. also pray for his family. i understand that he and his wife are coming up on their 4th wedding anniversary. reminder - cory is a law enforcement officer from the marion area who was hit by an impaired driver as cory was driving home after work on his motorcycle.
scottie borden - i am going to try and attend the d9 retirees luncheon, but i may have one or two people with me, as i can't drive yet. will that be a problem? i also called ernestine, and will try to visit her soon. thanks for the update on her. she is a dear friend.
kevin burchett -thanks for writing! give me a bit of time and i'll come down and have a cup of coffee with you. we can talk "motorcycles...."
mike hunter - the blue ridge???? you're breaking my heart! that is my absolute favorite place on earth to ride motorcycle!!! sounds like you enjoyed it as well. can i "borrow" your 4-wheeled motorcycle...? lol
lin herd - thanks for your kind words. i miss all of you more than you know. i'd come back today if the patrol would let me. there's NO PLACE LIKE (MY OSP) HOME!
lance mathess - thank you so much for the heartfelt note! it means alot, lance. i appreciate it.
tim from d9 - thanks for the wonderful, musical card! it absolutely cracked me up!
enough for now...i'm just enjoying this well-needed thunderstorm!

So was the diagnosis what you thought, that it didn't take? Work was ok this week. Heading home tomorrow, so you may hear from me on my return trip as I pass through Ohio. We are having the end of season pool gathering Sat. We so wish you could attend, but there will be time for that later.

Lisa,
You can borrow my "4-wheeled cycle" as soon as you can work the clutch again, so keep listening to the therapy torturers (etc.). Of course, that would probably be a trade for one of your "2-wheeled convertibles" - one I don't have to pedal, that is. I hear the BRP is beautiful in springtime...

Good Morning Sunshine!
I can't wait for your benefit, I hope everyone knows that even if you don't ride motorcycles, they are all invited, Alan wouldn't miss it! Hope you had a good doctors appt, let us know, the prayers are being said daily for you and Mary.
Hope you get out today to enjoy this weather.
Love ya,
Wendy
Do you know what you get when you cross a turtle with a porkupine?

Hey there, 1095!
I heard something about you when you were down at the Apple Festival and just wanted to find out if it was true... something about how you told a fellow law enforcement officer to drive THROUGH the MIDWAY, where she could have possibly run down countless innocent by-standers???? Is there any truth to that???? Or is it just a rumor????? Hmmm... was just wondering because this "person" who told me about it was pretty convincing and was still exhibiting some of the effects of that trauma she experienced when it occurred. So I just thought I'd ask! :)

Dear Major Taylor,
I am very sorry about the accident and hope both of you will recover. Shame on the impaired driver.
Hi Major Taylor. Hope you are doing well. From the pictures, it looks like you've come a long way. Best of luck and take care.
