Dear Friends,

The MINI community has come to mean so much to me and my husband Pat
"Retsej" that I want to share with you some very difficult news.

On Friday February 9th, Pat was involved in a terrible work-related
accident. Pat was struck in the head by a very large pipe. The
impact fractured the C4, C5 and C6 vertebrae and seriously damaged his
spinal cord. His condition at times has been quite precarious and
his prognosis is uncertain. We can only pray that he will regain
some mobility.

Pat really loves the MINI community. He is fond of saying that it
is not about the car, its about the people. We are both grateful for
the many friends we have met.

Armen "Kriation" has set up a website ( Pat’s Progress ) so
that I can keep everyone posted on Pat's progress.

Pat's address:

Pat McNally Rm# 901W
c/o Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
125 Nashua Street
Boston, MA 02114

7/3/07-home remodel has begun to follow along just keep checking the Home Remodel Album.
