Talked to Jim this morning, he asks our prayers for a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. Sorry for the broken posts, it would not let me post the entire message at one time.

Really sad news! Here's to good recovery!

Godspeed to Jim and his wife. He is good people. He went way out of his way to make us feel like family last year at Winnsboro. Get well buddy.

This may be a bad time to ask, but were they driving Elizabeth's car at the time?

Visited with Jim's parents today..They said that the accident was caused by a young driver (17-18, 1 year out of high school) passing on a curve. Jim had to be cut out of the wreckage. JIm is stable, but sore and is still hospitalized. The Drs' continue to give Virginia blood replace that which was lost, but she is slow to recover. Here is a pic of the car. They are both fortunate that they survived the accident. Note how the passenger compartment is still pretty much intact. Good job, GM.
