Re: Gyrocopter Crash at Echuca

For everyones information:

Pauls status is now listed as Statisfactory, at least it's a little bit of good news.

Keep fighting Paul

Re: Gyrocopter Crash at Echuca

Hi everyone -

It's Paul's daughter Emma here. I just wanted to let you know that I am going to print out every single one of the comments that have appeared on various forums, so I can read them to him. I've been chatting away to him anyway, so I figure he'd appreciate hearing such wonderful words from his compadres in the gyro community.

Thanks again from us all - we are so grateful for everyone's support, and I am absolutely certain that Dad would be as well. I'll keep all the print-outs for him to read when he's awake...just in case it hasn't all sunk in.

Regards -


Emma.
