Hi Chris,
To Peter's earlier post...life can really suck at times. I am both sorry you were hurt and glad to see you are on the mend...a long road back I am sure that few of us can relate to. As mentioned above...we are all in your corner as any one of us could easily be in your place...or a loved one....life is so tenuous and can turn in an instant. Will leave you with an abridged version on what happened recently to a good friend of mine...Jack Estes II.
Jack is a hero. I am not a great man nor come in the path of many but Jack has touched my life. Until recently Jack owned two E-32's and I have given him some technical advice from time to time and we have become good friends. Jack is the right stuff...20/20 vision, young, articulate, brilliant and strong. He wrecked his big six E-32 a while ago and was parting it out on the Roadfly board and selling parts off to many board members...I was in the mix as well for his exhaust system....when he was called up to serve in Iraq...he is a pilot. He was flying over Iraq when his plane took enemy fire and he lost both his feet. It broke my heart when I heard what happened to him. He is such a champion. Not one single word uttered of remorse or misgiving...was honored to serve our country. His wife gave birth to their second child when he was over there. He communicated to his BMW friends via a lap top form his hospital bed just out side of Iraq and said he would make good on all the parts he promised which he did...he just came home. He ended up giving his parted car to a member of the board that didn't live too far from his house in Indiana. Jack is on the mend now...will never fly again...and has been fitted with prosthetic feet and is relearning to walk. He has modified the peddle box on his remaining 750iL so he can brake more effectively. Jack is a hero and I just wanted to tell you guys about him and how much he touched my life and now yours.
Chris its been a while since we exchanged any e-mail and I wish you the best for a complete recovery.
Best Wishes,
George
