[Husker] One of our own Lee Wilmart terribly injured

[Roger Lohr]

Pam, thank you for the information regarding Lee's terrible accident!

Lee really is a VERY NICE person.  He took myself and my oldest son on the 
train ride with him about three years ago.  I REALLY enjoyed meeting him and 
of course, I enjoyed the ride in the cab of the engine with him.  We had 
things set up to take my grandson last year, but we couldn't do it as the 
Husker game was a late start.

We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers, and hope for a full recovery.

Roger Lohr-Mpls
