On Friday afternoon of June 25, 2010, I had an unfortunate and unavoidable collision with a deer while riding my motorcycle near the intersection of Hwy. 145 and Hwy. 62.

I would like to thank all of the emergency response people and the folks at the Telluride Medical Clinic. It was reassuring to see familiar faces. You folks did and do a fantastic job. I was expertly taken care of from the accident scene until I left the Medical Clinic. You are the real pros and heroes around these parts.

Thank you and bless you all.
