2007: LEA AND GINNY TERRY IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT



FROM SALLY ASHMEN TO JACK LACY, HHS '56, THE FOLLOWING NEWS:

Hi Jack...FYI...Ginny and Lea Terry were in a serious auto accident in Penna. 2 weeks ago, near Bowman's Hill. Lea was driving and they were hit broadside on the passenger side. Lea was just banged up- no fractures or serious injury. Ginny, however was admitted to intensive care in St. Mary's in Newtown with bruised bladder and heart, concussion, and 22 fractures including ribs, pelvis, right scapula. She is now at Care One of Ewing on Parkway Avenue. Organs are fine now--just having daily physical therapy. They are not allowing her to walk at all but do get her up on her feet to the bathroom in a wheelchair. I visited tonight and there is no estimate of how long they will keep her there but a stay at St. Lawrence rehab. seems to be a possibility. Lea is at home and his kids are transporting him back and forth to Ewing. She is, of course, very uncomfortable but being a real trooper. Having kept herself in good physical shape swimming and walking has been very much in her favor.
