Randy Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Just saw this on FaceBook, posted by the New England School of Metalwork: "We just heard that blacksmith and NESM Instructor Mark Aspery was in a motorcycle accident this past week and is injured but alive. We wish Mark a speedy recovery and hope to have him back soon!" Has anyone heard anything else. Our prayers go out for a speedy recovery!

divermike Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Mark, if you read this, I know the pain you are in, I recently had a serious shoulder surgery, 2 tendons, 2 muscles and bones issues, some cartilage to be trimmed as well. You are well respected and many people like myself are hoping and praying for ease of pain and speedy recovery. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike-hr Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Mark is an old school, tough individual. I'm confident of his recovery, but, haven't heard anything about the shape of the scooter... Thinking happy thoughts, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Good luck and quick recovery Mark - and get rid of the bike. That's about all they are good for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrann Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Prayers from here. Big hopes for speedy and complete recovery. I must admit that seems like a high mark for minor injuries, but if that is the yardstick, I will roll with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evfreek Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Get home safely, and get well soon, Mark. Gotta be careful about those bikes. That CBA risks article is correct. Lots of hazards in the blacksmith shop, but none like the trip back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I could say some things about the dangers of the road but life is just plain and simple dangerous so I suppose I'll just say a prayer that he recover quickly and that his shoulder and all heal so that he can resume life without too much pain. God be with you! Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
