Just wanted to let you all know that it was so great to see you all this weekend. Eric and Ruth just made it home and so did I.

I want to thank you all for your kind words to me in regards to tending to the young man who wrecked his bike Saturday morning on the Skyway. His name is Stephan Triss from Chicago. He is alive, on a vent with bilateral chest tubes. He also has some cerebral contusions but does communicate. I also want to thank Eric and Ruth for their kind support during that time. I have also sent words of thanks to the Gensport folks for all their wonderful care they provided that helped save this man's life.

I would like to ask our group to participate in a card shower for Stephan. Please, if you would, send your get well wishes to: Stephan Triss, Mission Hospital, Room J419, 509 Biltmore Ave., Asheville, NC 28801. Let him know you are with the Crossfire group. I've asked the Gensport group to also send cards. This guy is going to have a long haul and he is a long way from home.

Finally, I would like to thank Eric and Ruth Zerface for pulling me home. Thank you for the love.
