A 12/9 Update from Buster ::

Talked w/ Billy this pm and it was a good conversation. Matty, the son, worst period was 3 to 4 days after the accident. When he is moved the numbers spike up but they are slowly reducing the dosage for the hospital induced coma. Baby steps of slight improvement but a long, long way to go. The father had surgery on his hip today and is in intensive care but not due to the surgery. He should be out of ic soon. The family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support and Pecan appreciates and has responded to all of the text. If you would like his text number please contact me. B.

A December 7 Update

I just got this from Buster a short while ago:

> I just talked to Lynn for the first time. They are hanging in with astounding support from the Buford community. Folks are pooling frequent flyer miles so family far away can fly in to take shifts helping with all that needs to be done. B and L are planning to go home in next few days to take care of some things but will go back by wkend probably. They have removed a good bit of blood from Matty's lungs. No change in pressure but he is still stable/critical. Teo may be having surgery Wed or Thurs. Dabo called the family Sat before the game to offer his prayers and support--what a guy. Just keep lifting those prayers up. There is a fund online--gofundme.com--which donations can be made to for expenses which will be abundant on top of insurance. Caymol address: 1508 Centerville Dr. Buford, GA. 30518

An Update ::

From Buster:

Subject: Latest  news.  My son Matt just talked with Will Ammons who is in ATL.  They are all staying at Angie's house.  Teo is stable but suffered a broken hip and a collapsed l .  23 year old Mattie is fighting for his life with significant brain injuries and other serious injuries.  Hope you can come to the HH tomorrow.

And from a later short message:

Obviously I meant 13 year old Mattie.

Some More Extremely Sad News ::

I got this from Buster earlier today:

Billy and Lynn Ammon's youngest grandson in Ga. was killed in a car wreck. His brother is in intensive care.

Apparently a car swerved to miss a deer and hit the car that the brothers were in which was being driven by their father who is in a separate hospital.

Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Here is a link to the local Gwinnett County, Ga. newspaper with the story:

The story gives some details on the accident which took the life of Billy and Lynn's 11 year old grandson. His 13 year old brother is in intensive care and will, apparently, be undergoing brain surgery very soon. Their father, also critically injured, is in another hospital.

The Ammons family is certainly in my and Jeanie's thoughts at this time and I'll update this when I may receive further news.

The 50th Year Reunion

I just got this from Buster a short while ago:

First just want to take this moment to thank Jerry Sheheen for heading up the plans for this gala.

After putting in as much info from all  those who chipped in their thoughts and concerns the dates of Aug 14th/ 15th will be dates of the reunion.

Plans are to have a social mixer with no music or venue on Fri. and a duplication of all past reunions on Sat.

Hope everyone can attend. We look forward to seeing you.  B.

These dates work for me and I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone.
