I was on such a high yesterday after pulling the two vehicles out of the mud, then today got crushed. A friend was helping his son pull his pickup and trailer out of a ditch just east of town yesterday evening and the tractor flipped over backwards on him and killed him. Ron was only 52, just a little more than 11 years older than me and a great guy. The entire community is in shock. Of course, his son, Dustin, thinks it was his fault now because his dad was helping him because he got stuck doing something stupid. It'll be a long recovery for Dustin before he feels right about himself again. Wish I'd been there with my Jeep. May have gotten him out without having to use the tractor, and Ron might still be alive......ya just never know. Say a prayer for the family of Ron Porter, ok? They need lots of them right now.
