Zennie 0 #6 March 10, 2002 My condolences to you, Shane's wife and family and all of his friends. I was really hoping he would pull through. I'm sure the details of the accident will be out soon. I wasn't there the Friday it happened, but I was there the day after and talked to people who witnessed it."Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
