| My wife pounded in BASE jumping in Clear Creek Canyon yesterday. They screwed a rod into her femur and she should be home on Tuesday. A Dr. named Ed(also a climber) was essential to the safe return of Jackie. We don't know Dr. Ed's last name but he friggin ROCKS! I love you man. |  FLAG |

| Dude, I was wondering about who that was when I read that, your community being pretty small and all. Glad she is doing well. Should we plan on a welcome home party? In any case, hope all goes well. |  FLAG |

| Hank, I was one of the guys there who witnessed the jump and ran across the river, after a fall like that I honestly thought we were just going to recovery a body. The fact that she was not only alive, but fully responsive is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Nothing short of a miracle, and I'm overjoyed to hear that she will be ok. Thoughts and prayers, man. God Bless, Maury P.S. I'll make sure we get you that doc's name, we were climbing near those guys and got his son's email after it all. |  FLAG |
