XP: Thoughts and Prayers Please
I just found out that my former boss's brother died yesterday on the
Merced River in Yosemite trying to save a person that was drowning. He
was an ER doctor so it was very much in his nature to put others before
himself. His wife who is a PA went in after him and almost died but made
it out okay. They have twin girls that are going to be 3 next month. If
you could just send the family some thoughts and prayers I would
greatly appericate it. I know the whole family very well and G was such
a kind kind man and a wonderful daddy to those girls. Thank you.

Re: XP: Thoughts and Prayers Please
Soooo many people have been rescued from the rivers and it's only July 1. There were some rafters that got swept up yesterday afternoon and the last person didn't get rescued until 1 am this morning. Two Merced county sheriff deputies almost drowned trying to save the rafters.
On the local news earlier, they were interviewing a guy who almost took his 14 year old son rafting in the river and a sheriff deputy convinced him to leave his son on shore. The guy said something to the tune of "I know how to swim so I'm not worried" and a few minutes later his raft capsized and he almost drowned. Now there are sheriff deputies patrolling parts of the Merced river and arresting people who enter the river. They've even closed the Kings River that runs through Fresno County because there's too much water being released from the dam. People don't realize just how fast and cold those rivers are.
My thoughts and prayers are with that family.
