[pct-l] ...rescue on the PCT - call or email your best wishes to Bill Roberts

[enyapjr at comcast.net]

This via my 'grapevine':
Bill is at Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA, & will be there 3 to 5 days...
Cracked pelvis, ruptured spleen, several broken ribs, but no mention of broken leg...
Bill (registered as William Roberts) is in room 276; Mercy phone number is 530-225-6000...
Peggy is with him and answering his phone currently; Bill sounds very good considering 
what has happened (I said he was 'tough'!)...  
Per Bill everything sounds very good for a full recovery - I'm sure he will be back in the 
saddle soon enough! - you can't keep Bill out of the mountains (or off a horse) very long!!
Bill perked up even more in talking of past meetings and places in the NorCal mountains...
If you know Bill at all, give him a call!

One could email Bill at Mercy, also - but emails are "not delivered on weekends" and might 
be "delayed over holidays", so there's a good chance Bill would be discharged before receiving 
any emails on Tuesday!  See <http://redding.mercy.org/Patients_And_Visitors/052106>...  
Calling might be best IMHO.  Let Peggy & Bill know the PCT community is thinking of them!

Thank you.  (and thank Bill for all he has done over the years on the PCT!!)

Happy trails!!!
