If there is anything you need, Steve, just ask.

Get well soon,

I drooled on his 8 at LOE, but have not met him yet. What a piece of art, what a shame.

Get well soon Steve.

Everyone went to the hospital to visit Steve today. Blackberry cobbler
from Coopers BBQ in Llano helped his spirits. He's pretty beat up, but
should go home tomorrow.

After the visit we went to see the plane. Steve had no idea how bad it was,
the airframe is a total lose with unbelievable damage. I have a bunch of pictures, but do not know how to attach them. I will send them to Steve or he will put some others up later.

There was some good footage on the news last night.
www.ksat.com
Go to VIDEO and there is a box to open the clip.

Default Car hits Rv

Steve,

Don't know if you remember me from St. Louis when I was in EAA Chapter 32, but I am real sorry to hear about your incident. Hope you get well soon and get to build another RV as good as the one that was wrecked.

I just posted a thread the other day asking him about his panel.....How SAD

Hope his physical injuries heal well and soon! (the emotional scarring will likely last much longer..)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Steve.

Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you. I know the collective RV community will be happy to help you with any rebuilding efforts, encouragement, and morale support you might need or want (not to mention flying opportunities when you're ready for them.)

You'll get back where you were -- keep your chin up.

Default CNN Video

Looks like CNN picked up on this and they have a video clip of the scene.

Steve if you read the forums, GET WELL SOON. [ed. He does, Gary. He is 'sf3543' in here (with over 500 posts). dr]

If you want to talk to someone that had a car drive into their running airplane, contact me off list. STATE FARM would NOT pay. They tried to BLAME the airplane that was taxing on an airport. I had to pay a lawyer $11K and go through two and one half years of being blamed by them.

George, could you tell me (us) what hospital Steve is in? I'd like to send him a get well card today (if you think appropriate).

Best,
Doug

Default Steve,

When you are building your next RV (?) and need a ride for a Coopers Bar-B-Que fix give me a call any time. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
