On July 7th, we reported that Jack Coggins had been hurt in a bicycle accident. Jack sustained a serious spinal cord injury. He is out of intensive care but remains in hospital. Jack and Shelley thank their many friends for their visits, good wishes, and prayers.

If you would like to send Jack your best wishes, you can do so in at least three ways. Jack can receive more visitors these days, and he is in the neurosurgery unit (the sci-fi-sounding "Area 6300") of Royal University Hospital, where visiting hours are from 2:00 - 7:30 pm. If you send a card or letter to Jack addressed to the History Department, 9 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 5A5, we will see that he gets it. And we have also created a special email account just for this occasion: jackcoggins@gmail.com. Jack will have the password to the account and will answer when he is able, but for now he can receive any messages you care to send that way.
