Re: help for ZR-1 owner in serious accident
Dave is now in a Rehabilitation in Philadelphia and is doing suprisingly well considering his injuries. Dave is just learning to do things on his own from his wheelchair, such as transferring to the commode, showering and living from a sitting position. Dave has a strong will and will bounce back but it will take a lot of time.
Dave still has no feeling in his lower legs and feet. Dave is still recovering from his other injuries, right side broke ribs which is still rather painful, this is slowing his recovery but is starting to get some of his strength back in his upper body. Dave is trying to gain access to the hospitals library so he can get on the net/computer to thank all those who have stepped up to the plate to help in his time of need, many of which have never met dave before. He is looking forward to thanking each and everyone for their efforts in his time of need for both himself and his family. Thanks everyone, Jeff Gibson |

Thank you soooo very much, You can paypal the proceeds to my PP account since I have direct contact with this whole drive and have daily contact with Dave Davis and his wife Jane on the daily basis. Ron Kreigh and/or Dave Johnson can confirm my involvement. I just made a deposit yesterday into Dave and Janes account to help them with bills. Once received into my paypal account and cleared, I will send a confirmation to both you and the registry. Its folks like you that really make a difference and make this site so worthy for all that use it, Thanks to you MOM and all registry members as well for your support and genorosity.

Re: help for ZR-1 owner in serious accident
Looking at those pictures make you wonder how he even survived. As bad as he is hurt, I am sure his family and friends thank God he is still with them.
BTW - LoTu5 I know some have donated anonymously as well, and everyone deserves a pat on the back who is helping out. |

Re: help for ZR-1 owner in serious accident
I had the pleasure of spending the day with Dave and Jane today as well as 2 other ZR1 owners David and Jim.
I'm happy to report that Dave was in high spirits and seems to be physically improving as well. David, Jim and I spent some of the donation money to install a new 36" door in place of the 30" door to Dave's bathroom to make access via wheelchair a lot easier and installed a grab bar in the bathroom to make manuvering easier as well. I can tell you Dave and Jane really appreciate all the registry has done for them. BUT they still need more help. Dave needs a stair lift installed which of course costs money! And since Dave is now unemployed help with the bills is still needed as well. We could ALL be just a blip of the LT5 throttle away from a similar situation so remember to be careful out there! David let me drive his ZR1 to pick up lunch so I could compare stock (mine) performance with his modified version. Thanks David for letting me hammer on your ZR1, the headers, exhaust and gears are certainly a nice upgrade!

Re: help for ZR-1 owner in serious accident
Rex Ruby,
Thanks for your help. It was great meeting you. To all of the ZR-1 Community: Dave asked me to express his thanks for all the help that he and Jane have gotten. Right now, the arrangements in their house make it impossible for Dave to get to the computer to say thanks directly (we are working on getting computer access for him.) Jim |
