Update on Gary Whittley...finally home and on the mend

Gary Whittley phoned today from home. He is resting and on the mend suffering from 6 broken ribs and a 10% lung puncture.
Gary was in a motorcycle accident on Friday afternoon as he was heading home to Copper from Sonora and subsequently medi flighted out due to the extensive injuries. He was passing gate #2 at Poker Flat when a truck pulled out of the gated community. Gary felt he could either hit the truck or the bank, he choose the bank.  "I like dirt better than I like metal" he said in typical Gary humor, while trying to stiffle a laugh, as laughing is almost out of the question when healing from multiple broken ribs.
Gary is thankful for the phone calls and the concern he has felt from the community.

Welcome home Gary!
