The fact I didnt break my neck is a miracle, but my recovery is so improbable, it must be a miracle, said Robert Bremers. "The day before my accident, he (Christopher) skied two runs solo for the first time For him to overcome that and write me a card was very fulfilling It gave me strength Bremers has skied professionally and joked that in younger years, he could have handled the cliff without a problem if he had just landed on his feet He said he wasn't tempting fate by skiing close to the cliff "I very prudent about skiing, he said I don't ski out of bounds or take unnecessary chances A life-long skier, Bremers said he is thinking ahead to the next ski season and whether to return to teaching handicapped students Although he has a long way to go before achieving a complete recovery. Bremers said he ran a full speed sprint for the first time recently 'I will still go skiing, but I'm going to make sure my kids wear helmets from now on," he said No one in our family has ever had an accident like this, but there are so many head injuries in skiing It's not worth taking the chance Oeath notices Boyd Vanlandingham Boyd Vanlandingham of Gateway died Thursday of natural causes He was 55 Survivors include his wife, Ar lene Funeral services are pending Martin Mortuary is in charge of ar rangements How To Subscribe?
