Dear Editor:

Thanks to everyone who helped get me across the Fork and out of North Star last week. First off, Tomek, “you da man.” Canoe man Erik. Damien and Daniel, and unknown ambulance driver. Personnel from the sheriff’s office and Mountain Rescue. Aspen Whitewater for the raft and any others I do not know of. Also, thanks to the staff of Aspen Valley Hospital.

Still sore but progressing. Have a great summer.

Tom Brinkmeyer
