Hello Olympia Chapter
http://forums.delphiforums.com/doa51/messages?msg=804.1
Olympia Abate Chapter Member Rick Courtney Went down
on his bike Sunday the 4th On Old Hwy 99.
He left the road and hit a tree. He was air lifted to Harborview Hospital and was in the ICU. He has been a Olympia member since 2006 and has been to many of our events. He is 46 and is married to Susan and they live with their children. Rick has many injuries but, so far he is beating this situation. However they are keeping him in a drugged state so he can heal and has had several surgeries to fix broken bones, lacerated liver and spleen, broken pelvis and more but for right now there is nothing we can do but, wait to see how he does. Going up there to see him is ok and there are no limits but, remember that he is asleep to heal and there is nothing you can do. He is in surgery a lot and not very good company right now. The family is doing great with everything. However, Susan says she is getting called by so many family and friends that it is hard for her to do stuff. So Stick has a forum on the link below that she is updating to help with the phone traffic. She has sprint and is out of minutes to talk to non sprint numbers. So if you could check the DOA site and read the blogs that would really help. Susan is just trying to focus on being his voice for his care and she knows she has so many friends out there and will call if she needs anything. Thank you all so much from her. Yes he is really banged up but he is doing good. It will be awhile to heal and get better and find out the extent of his injury's but Susan and the doctors are feeling really positive. We may have some fundraisers coming up so keep watch for them. Posted by: Dragoni 05/05/08 Update May 7th. 2008
Hey everyone, Here is a update on Rick Courtney.
I went up last night to see Susan and right now there
is nothing we can do but, wait to see how he does. Going up there to see him is ok and there are no limits but, remember that he is asleep to heal and there is nothing you can do. It is hard for Susan because she is getting called by so many family and friends that it is hard for her to do stuff. So Stick has a forum on the link below that she is updating to help with the phone traffic. She has sprint and is out of minutes to talk to non sprint numbers. So if you could check the DOA site and read the blogs that would really help. He has surgery today that will take all day and then recovery. So no big answers until tomorrow. Susan is just trying to focus on being his voice for his care and she knows she has so many friends out there and will call if she needs anything. Thank you all from her. Yes he is really banged up but he is doing good. It will be awhile to heal and get better and find out the extent of his injury's but Susan and the doctors are feeling really positive.
Thanks Darcy and see you at the meeting tomorrow.

On Wednesday, November 14,one of Tennessee’s most respected Freedom Fighters, Michael L. Hays (Twanger), died at his home in Nolensville of a heart attack. Mike was born in Pulaski, TN on June 17, 1955 to Harold Dean Hughes and Doris Ellen Baker Hughes Hays, who have both preceded him in death, as well as his respected step-father, Freeman C. Hays, M.D.
An avid motorcyclist, he was the State Legislative Corporate Director for CMT/ABATE, the state-wide motorcyclists rights organization, as well as that organization’s lobbyist. He was also a member of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation in Washington, DC, and recently lobbied on their behalf in the US Congress. Mr. Hays was also the sole proprietor his agency, Midsouth Talent & Booking. Prior to living in Nashville, Mike had been a radio announcer in Orange, VA, toured with his band, Mike Hays and the Haybailers, and prior to that had spent many years selling specialty audio equipment. Michael entered the US Navy in 1974, served honorably, and at the time of his discharge 1978 was a member of the Admiral’s band as singer and saxophonist.
Mike is survived by his immediate family: one brother; Paul M Hays (Cindy), Washington, DC and three sisters; Barbara Thomas (Cam), Underwood, WA, Pamela Johnson (Shannon), Elizabethton, TN, and Patricia Ruth Emory (Jimmy), Richmond, VA. Also surviving are his daughter, Michelle Diana Williams (Indianapolis, IN), two granddaughters Savannah & Taylor, and grandson Bishop. Mike will also be deeply missed by his life partner, Carol Simpson of Nolensville, her three children and six grandchildren, and additionally, by a true army of Brother & Sister Freedom Fighters and many of his friends in the music industry.
Visitation will be Monday, Nov 19,from 3pm to 5:45pm at Woodbine Hickory Chapel, 5852 Nolensville Road. The funeral service will be held at the same location beginning at 6pm.

Bryan Dickson
With sadness I regret to inform you
that Bryan Dickson formerly a very active member of ABATE of Georgia has
passed away on Wednesday (January 23rd, 2007). He was at the home of his
long time friend William Mcnair on Monday night doing what they normally
did while spending time together...out in the garage killing time and
talking. He suffered a brain aneurism and never regained consciousness.
I was told by William that there will
be a memorial service for him in Carrollton on Friday February 2nd 2007.
I will forward the details as I hear them.
Please keep Pat and their children in
your prayers.
Dean Cheek
His Laboring Few MM
Coordinator- Georgia

Bryan Dickson Memorial Service info
Here's what I have on Bryan.
Next Friday the 2nd at 2pm, there is a
service at The Lady of The Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Carrollton.
Take I-20 West to exit 19, Hwy 113. Go south
4.7 miles and turn right on Old (something) Pointe Rd.
Go a little further - I think William said it would be on the right.
