I would just like to let all the friends of Col's know that he is in ICU at Wollongong hospital.I recieved an email from his wife early this morning
to say he was unconcious and not responding.They are not sure if he will come out of it.She will let me know how things go.I have had a chat
to her this morning and she is doing it tough.I am sure we can all say a little prayer for Col and try and get him to pull through.

cheers

Very sad news to hear. Many rodbuilders here in the states had the pleasure to finally meet and speak with him in person at last years ICRBE. You can be sure of many prayers sent up from this side of the world. Please keep us informed.

I spoke with both Mark and Ray yesterday. Absolutely shocking news.
Col is one of those great guys that has a love for the craft and wants nothing more than to pass it on to others. He expects nothing in return.
I hope all our wishes help him rally at this time.

My best Regards
