Muenkel 0 #1 April 11, 2007 Just caught a segment on Fox News about our very own Gawain...aka...Max. The focus of the segment was about him dealing with his amputation and continuing to skydive. Max, I've told you before...you're an inspiration to us all. Folks, what you see here with Max is exactly how he came across on TV. Positive thinker and in no way a victim. Very nice landing, btw.Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #12 April 11, 2007 Thanks guys!So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #13 April 11, 2007 Perfectly put twardo. I've been amazed by how well Max has bounced back in just 1 year. I want some of that to rub off on me (metaphorically speaking ofcourse, Max.). 13 months ago he has half a leg blown off and he's recovering so well. I had a head injury over 3 1/2 years ago and I can't seem to fully recover still. I know, apples and oranges. But today is about Max and his awesome contribution to all of our psyches. I will always be thankful for that. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klingeme 1 #18 April 11, 2007 Nice. Congratuations on your Knighthood. It's great to see a story about us on the news where no one died or got hurt. You just don't see much possitive press. Mark Klingelhoefer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
