The people we are taliking about were at Psycoblooie on Saturday. They didn't camp, they were here a few hours. It was a yellow and white splitty. They parked near the corner of the carport. The only bad front end I ever had in a splitty, I was lucky enough to pull my knees up. It would have crushed both my ankles. We all need to remember to drive these deathtraps with special care. But sometimes nothing you do will stop what happens. ----- Original Message ----- From: ATX BUS To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 10:27 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: My Neighbor Tim Glad everyone is going to have a complete recovery. Sounds like it could have been much worse, good bus karma for them and some bad karma for the S-10 driver. Where do Tim and Genessa live? I frequently see split buses on craigslist here in Austin. I know it was a split but what kind of bus (panel, camper, deluxe)? Give them my best. If they find something here that I could check out for them, let me know.

As far as getting another bus, he hasn't gotten that far. All the mechanical stuff was excellent on it, so we're going to strip it down. It shouldn't be too bad to swap the good stuff onto a decent shell. Thanks. Dan <ThatVWGuy@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hope everyone recovers and the culprit is caught. Does he want another bus? I know of a couple people who have been in bad bus wrecks and don't want another bus. If he does maybe TCB could help him find another one and get it running for him. Was there insurance on his bus? -Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Brannan To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 10:18 PM Subject: [tcb] My Neighbor Tim My neighbor Tim and his wife Genessa were driving their 67 bus on Monday when there were struck head on with a Chevy S-10 truck. The driver of the other vehicle backed up and fled the scene. Tim's legs were pinned and jaws of life had to be used to pull the front of the bus off of him. They are both home from the hospital today. Genessa will be on crutches for a week or so, but Tim will be in a wheel chair for a while. His left leg was broken below the knee and his right one received cuts from the dash. He also has a bunch of stiches in his face. His seat belt kept him from worse. Please keep their family in your prayers. They will both make a full recovery with time. Tim was pretty bummed about his bus. It was hit hard enough to wrinkle the roof in several places. I'm wondering if there is something the TCB group could do to help them out. I can probably get some of our other neighbors to help part out his bus. Any thought?
