Thought some of you should know this. My father went skiing with Rodger Fry yesterday. Had a great half of a day, he said he was skiing better than he had in a number of years. After taking a break (Rodger step in if I'm incorrect here), he got whacked by the lift while standing in line. When he hit the ground, he broke his right hip. It is a clean break, right through the top of the femur. So he is getting a new hip this morning. They are prepping him for surgery right now, it'll probably be at least four hours from now before I have any more information. If anyone wants to call him tomorrow or stop by, let me know off list and ill give you the relevant info. Dan -- Sent from my Incredible. Pardon any mispelings or errors.
Sorry to hear about your father, Dan, and I wish him the best.

Big ouch! Sorry to hear that, he's going to need your help as he heals. It will take a while. Wish him the best and we look forward to seeing him on crutches.

Just an update: Dad came through the surgery very well, he didn't have any musculature or tendons torn (I'm very surprised). Haven't seen him yet this morning, but last night he was in pretty good spirits, talking, and even saw a few people. He's a bit weak of course, but it sounds like everything's gone according to plan.

Good news, tell your dad we're all hoping he recovers quickly. Astronomy season will be starting in a month and half and want to see him with his bionic hip.
