Dan Smith is in the hospital

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Sandy and Ed called this evening and asked that I post news that Dan Smith had an accident while putting his coach away. It was told to me he was on the second step when the floor slide was activated, and it knocked him to the ground. Dan has a broken pelvis and ribs.

According to Sandy and Ed he is in good spirits.

When Ed and Sandy can get a computer tomorrow (they are at Prevost Nashville) they will post details.

This happened several days ago which explains why Dan has not posted.

I really hate to hear that about Dan. Thanks for letting us know.

[dalej]

Sorry to hear about that.

Jan and I hope you get to feeling better Dan!

Did Jo hit the slide cover Dan when you were coming in the bus?

[rfoster]

So Sorry to hear about the accident. Get well quicker. Were you trying the Jeseco Mountain Dance?

All you Poggers pay attention, broken and hurt bones ain't what we need or want.

Wish we were closer I would offer to help with the eating.

Dan, wishing you a quick recovery and hopefully we'll see you at Oaklahoma.

Dan - Vita and I wish you a speedy recovery! We'll keep you in our thoughts.

Get well soon Dan.

The step air pressure is adjustable with a regulator most located in the steering bay.

For safety sake it is there and it should not be so high that it can knock you off a step but rather turned up just enough to get the step to function, maybe 20 psi.

IMO opening it while standing on a step (a lower one initially) is a good litmus test to see if it is set low enough. IMO it should not have enough force to push you off.

Dan,

Sorry to hear about your accident.

Are you and Roger competing for some kind of award come OKC???

Get well soon.

[Pete]

Dan, sorry to hear about your accident. E.J. and I were just talking about how we enjoyed you and Jo and the others while in Titusville. Hope you recover soon.

Dan:

Donna and I are very sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you get better soon. I am assuming you are not on the coast. If you come home in the next few days, call me.
