There is only good news since this site was last updated. Albert has made great progress since leaving the hospital and getting back home. He is getting around without a cane now. There was a tremendous amount of support for Albert from so many of his friends. I know he really appreciated "hearing" from folks that he hasn't seen in so many years.

Thank you,
Dave

History

This page has the emails that Jo sent to keep everyone informed. They are in chronological order so you can see how JR progressed since the accident. The family has always called Albert "JR" so that is what you'll find in these messages. Albert's family is made up of Albert his father, Alan, Mike, Dave & Tony his brothers and Barbara his sister.

Photos of Wreck

This page has pictures of the JR's truck I took a few days after the crash. It is incredible this guy survived. He rear-ended an SUV that was reportedly parked in the right lane of traffic, halfway onto the road. There were injuries to the passengers of the SUV but their condition is not known. He was wearing his seatbelt and the airbag did deploy as you will see from the pictures.
