[Farmall] Geoff Guager Accident

[Paul Bazzetta]

I received a call from Pam Gauger this week.  She called to let me know 
that Geoff had a terrible accident while bow hunting a few weeks ago.  
He's home from the hospital but only after a very rough time.

Many of you know Geoff from the unbelievable restoration work he does 
on Farmall tractors.  He's got a Super-H project going right now that 
will have to take a back seat while he recovers.  Pam wanted me to let 
his tractor buddies know about the accident and to keep you informed of 
his progress. She told me that Geoff doesn't like to talk about the 
accident but would love to hear from anyone who has the time to write 
(mostly about tractors).  Feel free to send him snail mail at 

Gauger, Geoffrey
915 Cavalier Dr
WAUKESHA, WI 53186

I'm taking up a collction to get him subscriptions to a bunch of 
tractor magazines.  Let me know if you want to contribute.

FYI. He fell out of his tree stand, broke all his ribs and two 
vertibrea.  He lay there for hours with two collapsed lungs before 
being dicovered by his freind.  He was heliicoptered to the trauma 
center and has had several opertions.  We nearly lost our freind a 
couple of times but he has managed to pull through to get home.  He's 
got a long recovery ahead of him and could use our moral support.  

If you choose to e-mail him, do NOT copy this e-mail as the description 
of the accident will cause him to re-live it and Pam says that is very 
upsetting to him.

I'll go see him early next week and will pass along you good wishes.
