Oh Julie.....I am so sorry to hear of this. I wish you both the best. What a terrible thing, just terrible. I do hope Book gets better.....and back to his old self.
My best wishes go out to Book and I hope he has a speedy and FULL recovery.
The sad thing is that most likely the drunk driver will just get a slap on the wrist. I see it all the time in the court reports in the paper. First offenses getting a fine, six month loss of license, having to attend a class. Later offenses getting fines and one to three year jail terms with all but three or four days suspended etc. Even people who have had their licenses pulled for life and still gotten caught drunk driving might only get two or three months in jail.
There has to be something more we can do to stop drunk driving. Capital Punishment is tempting but probably not passible.
Julie, I don't know you or BOOK, but I am sorry to hear about your, and his, misfortune. I ride motorcycles and often think if it is worth it because of stories just like this one. Almost every ride I have to mash the brakes or avoid in some way a driver paying little attention to the world around him. I can only hope things turn out as good as can be expected for you and your family.
I had a short exchange of PMs with Book's wife Julie after it happened to verufy to Hospital address. I did a follow up PM on the 18th of August and have not heard back.
<< <i>To all of you that know my husband, Glenn Booker, or Book. We were in a motorcycle accident that a drunk ran a stop sign and hit another car and then hit us. I know he has some new friends on this forum. He is in sicu at St. Elizabeth hospital in Youngstown. He had severe head trauma and we are not sure if he will ever be the same. Julie Booker >>
Will definitely pray for him.
I manage money. I earn money. I save money . I give away money. I collect money. I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I received a PM today from Book's wife. Book is a fighter. He has left the hospital and is now in an Intensive Care Facility learning how to walk and eat again. He is alert and talking and knows who everyone is:The doctors said he would never know his surroundings again. One day we are going to have a nice surprise when Book returns.
that's horrible, especially after reading the article about it.
i don't know Book but I'm a long time motorcycle rider and it makes me cringe when i hear these things. i know it's not much to go on considering the severity of the accident, but thank God he wasn't killed and neither were you, so that means there is still hope for his recovery.
Thanks for letting us know. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

Sold my Fatboy a few years back, it always pains me to hear of a brother going down.
Hope all turns out well.
