It was reported at SCT that long time USCA Vice President Jim McManus had an accident recently. It was the day before labor day and after church they were heading to a GWRRA chicken bar-b-que. Not far from their house a woman did not see him and pulled out in front of Jim as he was coming down a hill. He was being followed by his wife Marilyn at the time.
Jim could not miss the car and hit it in the side. He was thrown from the rig. Help was there immediately from people who came upon the accident. There were those from church and also some GWRRA folks that prayed at the scene before the emergency personel arrived. Jim was airlifted to Hamot Hospital in Erie, Pa..
I spoke to Jim this morning and The good news is that he will be going home tomorrow(Sept.8) !He is in good spirits and said to tell everyone he will be fine.
Jim does have two broken wrists and some cuts and bruises. It could have been worse and we should thank God that Jim will have a full recovery.
Our prayers are with you Jim, Marilyn and family and trust your recovery will be swift.

Glad to hear Jim is going to be okay. I appreciate you bringing this to all of our attention. We just are not that big a group. I will keep a good thought in my head for Jim.

The above meassage says it all.
We are a small association and we have to be grateful to those who keep us informed.
That is why this website is so important and why everyone who can do something should(even if it's just responding to a topic like this one).
I wish Jim a speedy recovery.
I also want to send a Hello to Claude and hope you are better now too.
