[W2CRA] Got this note on a contest mailing list about John C. W2GD

[Walter O'Brien]

W2GD was on a 30' tower going up at K8PO's new station in Maine  when  
the
temporary guying allowed the pier pin to slip off the base and he   
rode it
down.  Deep mud broke the fall, but he has a cracked pelvis,  there  
was a
torn artery, and a minor back injury.  Full recovery  expected, but it  
will
be a while before he is 100%.

He is in the ICU  at Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME now.  No  
word on
how long he'll  be in there - probably at least today in the ICU, then  
in a
regular bed for  at least a couple of days.  I'm sure he's one sore  
puppy.

Probably not taking any calls, but cards would be welcome,  I'm sure.
