Bill Lambert update.....

I told you Bill Lambert was a classic.....

After arriving at Stanford in the STAR helicopter, Bill was rushed into the emergency room. As he was being evaluated by the doctors.....he evaluated his own damn self.

Bill decided he could do a better job at a better price at home......and limped out of the ER. I assume Linda picked him up.

Juan was not so lucky. He apparently broke many of his bones, including all the important ones.

The tree they hit was the bad luck tree just past Garland Park.....known to the Carmel High Class of '98 as "B.J's Tree". The fact that they were on Carmel Valley Road explains the relatively high speed for Bill of 50mph. Also, he was asleep at the time.......

One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories ever is of Bill drinking whiskey with Grandma Pat at our house and reminiscing about having mountain lion stew at one boyhood Thanksgiving in Jamesburg. Grandma was tickled pink.....

Thank heavens there will be more Thanksgivings with Bill. Losing 240,000 acres of forest this summer is one thing. Losing Bill Lambert would have been a tragedy.
