These are stories that hit close to home for me.
MO posted a story for me just a few weeks/months back detailing a crash my friend Lou Grogg was in.
Lou was riding at speed down the expressway when he was struck from behind by a 19 year old girl.
Here's the rub, Lou will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life because of this crash. The girl who hit him was never charged!
The only thing that was done to her was a ticket for an expired registration. It turns out that she is related to a detective on the local police force. Apparently he has enough political pull to protect this girl. I'll stop here, because when I think about this I get so mad that I shake.
After 2 months in Ruby memorial hospital in Morgantown WV and another 4 in Health South ReHab. Lou returned to work for the first time last week. I have to admit, even knowing what to expect it was really hard to watch him come rolling in the door in that chair. He was smiling and in good spirits on his first day back. All I can think is, he is a much stronger person than I am.
