I stopped at the hospital and talked to Pete today. He's in a lot of pain but they say he is doing great; I'm not sure he is convinced. In all, he's in good spirits and says he has had quite a few visitors. He took a few steps this morning for the first time and was going to do the same this afternoon. Luckily he hasn't had much of an appetite because he said the food is pretty bad. I'm gonna deliver some real food tomorrow if he's up to eating.

Pete Voss recovering
During the start of 500 runabout three boats collided right in front of the clock. Pete Voss, Brad Burkland, and Don Rusnak were the three drivers involved. Pete suffered a fractured hip that required surgery which included inserting of a small plate. He is still in the local hospital near DePue and expects to be released by Friday.

Get well soon pete
As an old BU racer from my days on Long Island I am hoping Pete has a speedy recovery. Having raced with Pete in EORC I can say I trully miss thegood old days. Still building our Aeroliner boats with my brother David and collecting racing mercs.

Pete Voss
Pete wanted me to thank everyone for all of their assistance on Saturday - from getting him out of the water, into the ambulance, getting the boat and engine dried out and putting all the stuff in the trailer!
Also to everyone that has lent support to us, helped with phone calls (when I only had one phone number to call from the hospital), visits, and well wishes (and where just there to hold a hand, give a hug, or run to get a wallet!)
He really appreciates all that has been done.
And yes, Tony, he might appreciate some "real" food - not too much - as he is trying to keep his "figure."
We are trying to see if he can be released so that he can get home this weekend, but not sure what day. The surgeon was very impressed with his recovery to date.Last edited by dlmurray; 08-01-2007, 12:25 PM.

Pete, hope everything will OK, need you around racing again. We will get together when you return to Long Island. Guess we both have repaires to the boats.
