Ive only a moment to write this so forgive any typos, etc.

My Dad, "LarryShep" was involved in a horrible accident this afternoon on hwy 9 at Ben Higgins Rd. A car was coming off BH, turning south onto 9 and struck my Dad as we were making my way back to Dawsonville. He's in awful shape. He's been transporterd to North Fulton Medical ER for evaluations, etc. PLEASE PLEASE Pray for him. Many of you know what a tough old bird he is. I've never seen an accident like this. He's in such horrible pain. More to folllow as I can get updates, etc. out.
