Chad Magerkurth my godson and a new member to TORCs was riding at Delvalle and crashed on Quadzilla . Broke his femur , wrist and shoulder. He is at Breckenridge Rm611

What Rm is he in. We will come visit while we are there.

She said he's in Intermediate Care, still with chest tube. Hadn't heard that before so wonder if she meant ICU. They hope to be in a regular room tomorrow.

Steve's out of surgery and hopefully on the mend now, with the help of a plate and some screws. Hopefully he'll be moved to a regular room tomorrow. He's still not sure how it happened...said it was very fast and all he remembers is the sound of his chest protector hitting the ground. He got his first ever helicopter ride straight to Brackenridge.

When I walked in I saw Chad two rooms over. On the way out they had already moved Chad to a regular room (839). I stopped by and said hello and he was in good spirits...even showed me a picture of his blown alcohol hydroplane boat he races.

My good friend and neighbor's son, Matthew Morris, was killed in action in Iraq last Sunday April 6th. He was scheduled to end his 4 year tour today, April 15th. His younger brother, Sam, is my son's age and they are good friends. A big neighborhood party was planned for his return this weekend. I have known Matthew since he was 13 years old. Good person, smart, happy, had allot going for him and a big future. However, he wanted to serve his country first and unfortunately paid the ultimate price.

Prayers for the Morris family.

John Rollo was the rider seriously injured at Del Valle MX last Wednesday. He is making big improvements. Keep the prayers coming, they are working.

For sure on John.

I spoke with Dr. Steve yesterday and he's doing well, back to work but very sore due to the broken ribs.

Anybody have an update on Leonard? Last update sounded good and I know he sure has a lot of people praying for him and his family.

Man.....how I hate opening the AMSA page and seeing a new post on the prayer list....

But hopefully it's some good news, as this last post.

ya'll are in our prayers.....for sure.

the Paley's.......

I'll let someone who is "in the know" post on Leonard's health. But he looked great at Goertz a couple weekends ago - getting around, huggin on the ladies - they even put him to work throwing the start flags and waving the checkered. I'm sure he spent a week recouping after that from all the action. Great seeing you out racin Brenda!!!!

Speedy recovery to all -
