[Paddlewise] Larry Koenig address

I thought I had posted this earlier for all that has been requesting an
address for


the hospital.





Greetings All,


For those of you that called or e-mailed here is the info below.





Larry Koenig,  RM.. 4405


In care of;


Tallahassee Memorial Medical Center


1300 Miccosukee RD


Tallahassee, FL 32308





Larry is in I.C.U., so he can not have flowers at this time till he is


released from I.C.U..  It appears that Larry may be in I.C.U. for possibly


up to a week. So a card may be the best at this time.


We shall keep everyone informed of Larry's condition.





On a personal note, I was extremely impressed at Janell's strength and


calmness at the hospital.  Considering the situation, she is doing great,  I


am very proud of her.  During times of need an inner strength surfaces to


help the people we love.





Thanks for caring,


Arthur

Fernando,


I think most if not all of us would agree with the need of rest after a


paddling trip prior to getting onto the highways as you mentioned above.


This was not the case for Larry,  but your point is well taken and


understood.


Without going into a lot of detail concerning Larry's misfortune I'll try to


explain what happened.


Their vehicle ran out of gas.  A good Samaritan picked them up to get gas,


Larry had to ride in the back of the truck due size of the truck.  Upon


returning to their vehicle with the gas someone ran into them as they were


pulling off the road.  Of course many things may have been done differently


but isn't hind sight 20/20 with so many things we do that doesn't work out


for the best.  


The foresight Larry did have was to have his wife Janell fly in by plane after
the Sweet Water Kayak


Symposium to with the help drive home so he can rest.


Arthur
