To the crew at Kansasrocks and the gentleman and his family My freind Donny vanleuwan was struck by a lockout from a vehicle while watching it climb can opener as some of you may know on sunday. He is at home resting with no broken bones or cuts, but his left eye is severly damage and he has been going to an eye specialist in pittsburg ks every day for treatment.The swelling from the eyeball to the skull seems to be the problem. Since that afternoon he has not been able to see from his left eye, but now they have him on alot of medication so not to strean his eye and to keep it dialated constantly to allow the swelling to go down. Hope fully by the weekend he can see again with no surgery or any permanet damage.We will keep you updated as we go. As for the park activities Donny wanted me to tell every one he had a great weekend at the park and will return again. As to the gentle man with the flatbed ford ranger Donny says Thanks to you and your family for the help and concern. He also says dont beat yourself up accidents happen. And they can happen to all of us so be safe no matter what your doing.
