Hi George,

I am sorry to hear of your accident. I do hope that you are on the improve and have many years ahead of you. Please keep a few items of interest that you can work on now and again to keep you sane and mobile.

I had a very bad accident at work way back in September 1993 and was never supposed to walk again. It was my interest in vehicles and other items that kept me sane and gave me encouragement to keep going. So far I have spent 739 days in total in hospitals or rehabilitation centres since the 9th. September 1993, the day I was hurt, and it was the wish to continue to enjoy my hobby that kept and keeps me going. I am writing this from my hospital bed at the moment having just undergone my 12 major back operation and there have been many other not so major ops.

The internet has also been a great boon to me and I have made friends all over the world as a result. My laptop is getting a work out whilst I am here this time.

Good luck with the Auction, and as I said before, I hope you keep a few items to keep you sane and mobile as they have me.

Cheers Rick.
