I'd like to ask everyone here to keep our Wacky friend Gary (Head & Boulders) in your thoughts and prayers. Gary was recently in an automobile accident and sustained some very serious injuries.

Wow, how long ago did the accident occur? Did you talk with him?

On the 30th, I think. He's been in ICU until today I think. Don't know any of the details other than he is in very sad shape. :-(

wow, sorry to hear about that. I hope that he is on the road to recovery, and I wish
him all the best! I always enjoyed his posts and sense of humor, and pray that
he's back here soon.

Likewise... Hoping for a smooth recovery. Will definitely keep him in our thoughts.

Whoa. I'm obviously sorry to hear that and hope he has a full recovery. He's a great forum member!

Yikes, sorry to hear. Gary, we're all pulling for you to have a quick, complete recovery. And then come back here and tell us all about it!

Sue Mee · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2012, 09:08:22 AM »

For anyone that would like to send get well cards and Wacky greetings to our Wacky friend Gary Browning.

The address (for the time being) is:

patient Gary Browning
Grant Medical Center
111 South Grant Ave.
Columbus, Ohio 43215

Gary is facing a long recovery having sustained some very serious spinal injuries in an automobile accident and I'm sure he'd love to hear from all of you. I can't think of a better group of folks to lift his spirits than all of you Wacky friends here on the forum. Laughter is the best medicine.

BumChex · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:48:18 AM »

Everyone. I moved this topic to the WP discussion category. I want more people to see this. This is very serious and may forever change Gary's life. I also want to honor Gary's privacy so that is all I'm going to say unless I hear news I can post.
I think everyone that corresponded with Gary should send him a card to the address Kris posted. If OLDS3 were in my hands I would send him a box. I plan to send out a card this week and hope everyone else will to. I hope the artists can come up with something funny to send Gary. Remember Gary is a huge Kiss fan also. Take a look at his profile as he has pictures of him and his family.

I was also thinking of sending him some Olds 3 items to lift his spirits. I hope he makes a full recovery but it sounds like he got messed up pretty bad. I will be wishing the best for him and his family.

I would be willing to donate $5 to someone who can get a Box OLS 3 into his hands as soon as they come out. If 14 or 15 of us do that it will pay for shipping. If more of us are willing, 2 BOXES! It sounds like his recovery will be long and hard, if we do this it can take his mind off of it, if even for a minute or two.

Anyone else?

I’m trying to figure out how to pack and ship a vase of flowers

Maybe Gary's room needs some sprucing up with a giant Head and Boulders LTL type print?

He might be tired of looking at the dumb painting of the spring meadow

Yes, if someone has OS3 to send him, I'll be happy to chip in too. Sent a card today and will be looking at the local card shops for any interesting Kiss stuff to send him.

last night was not too good as Gary's heart stopped again, but he is undergoing surgery today to install a pacemaker. Keep the prayers and thoughts up...

Thanks for sharing the news. I just wrote a card for him which I'll send tomorrow. If anyone is able to organize a way to bring him a box or two of OLDS3, I'd be happy to contribute.

Sue Mee · « **Reply #28 on:** January 16, 2012, 06:06:15 PM »

A positive update.... He's a bit more alert than he was before :-)

One step at a time.

BumChex · « **Reply #29 on:** January 16, 2012, 07:29:01 PM »

I plan to send gary one sealed box of OLDS3 when mine arrive. If I can bring him a bit of happiness then it's worth it. I hope he pulls a color sketch!
I'm wondering if he will be out of the hospital hen OLDS3 comes out. I may need another address.
