Hi all. Many of you on the forum here have interacted with JimWeiland. He is a personal friend of mine, and an all around great guy. The type of guy that nobody would ever have a bad word to say about.

Recently, due to bad weather conditions, he was in a car accident with a semi truck and is in critical condition. Things are currently touch and go, but everybody is hoping for the best. :(

I thought the folks here on the forum would like to know what is going on and offer support. Regardless of your belief system, if you could send him prayers, good wishes, and your thoughts for a full recovery, anything will help.

Here is a link to a brief story about the accident:
http://www.waow.com/story/37269548/2018 ... fter-crash

This is a site where the family is giving updates and where you can send your thoughts and best wishes to them. Note that the site asks for donations, but it is for site maintenance, not for the family.

From the latest updates I've been following, it sounds like they are hopeful, but things are moving very slowly. I figure the more people sending good thoughts his way, the better.
