This year (now in his 70s and still a ski instructor) he was skiing and they were blowing snow on the hill. He went through the snow and then wrecked, bad. Yard sale bad. He got up, skied down the hill. The snow patrol wanted him to take an ambulance to the hospital and he declined. He walked to his car, loaded up and drove his stick shift 1 and a half hours to Bethesda Naval Hospital. They admitted him immediately Three broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. Spent four days there.

Damn Marines.
