On March 9 I was in an accident on Limberlost Road and I would like to take this opportunity to thank those involved in my extrication and the care I received.

A special thanks goes to the Lake of Bays Fire Department and those on Stns 20, 30 and 50, who responded so rapidly and who used their skills and expertise with military-like precision.

The residents of Lake of Bays should be proud of those men and women who are superbly trained and who dedicate their time and skills to the assistance of others. I would also like to thank district chief Andrew West, who stayed with me throughout the whole ordeal and made sure that I was provided with the best of care and who assured me that all would be well.

Muskoka Ambulance and Huntsville District Memorial Hospital staff spared no options to make sure that I received everything needed for a quick recovery. Also I would like to thank Tom Brown and Lauri Romanko for their quick response and assistance. But a special thanks goes out to Jason Griffiths, Kevin Sommerville and Bill Varcoe, friends who have stood by me and made sure that I had all I needed to recover and made sure my family had everything they required.  

All in all, this is one more example of why Huntsville is such a great place to live, through good and bad.
