I just talked to john sr, and he asked me to let everybody know how little john is doing, family and crew of john would like to thank everybody for there support this past week, john recieved no injuries do to the crash, sprained ankle and a bruised hip, was it. all his problems came from drowning, the life jacket didn"t work properly and he couldn"t roll over, he was in the trama ward untill sunday then on into icu, he was on a resperator till wednesday, breathing on his own and is looking real good and they think he can go home on sunday. just got off the phone with big john at 8;15 pm thursday every thing is great.:)

Soooooooo glad to hear this. Thanks for the up date and wishing him a speedy and total recovery. What is the deal with the jacket?.......Scary at best, and could've been much worse considering the rescue boats problem in responding...........Ray

That's good news gordy.
I'm wondering what the life jacket problem was though. Would be nice to know so it doesn't happen to someone else that may not be as lucky as John is.
