April 14, 1973. Hospitalized from that day till July 26.
Husky 450WR, a short jump and a Penton Jackpiner about 6 feet in the air behind me as I crashed real good.Eeight hundred and fifty little square, knobby shaped strawberries on my neck and back. Ever had anyone do a burnout on yer spine. . .HURTS!!
Good news! My patient representative is now my wife of 23 years.
After that, t'was a 74 Laguna S-3, coming home from Pizza hut at 1:00am and some ditz in an Olds Omega ran a stop sign and center punched me. I was slowin down from about 75 or so and she tore the whole side off the car, ripped out the rear axle and didn't have a shred of insurance. I took out about 50 feet of chain link fence and a telephone pole at the Texaco refinery before it all came to a stop.
