Ken spent the past three weeks in Dayton, OH undergoing therapy and rehabilitation at Prosthetic Design Inc. Kassi has been with Ken the entire time while he received education and training about his prosthesis from Tracy Slemker.

Tracy has been keeping us updated and said that Ken was up to the challenge and did a great job. He was a quick learner and excelled at everything they taught him to do. Ken had to go from having only one leg to learning how to kneel down, stand up and walk with his new prosthetic leg.

Everyone at Prosthetic Design has worked really hard with Ken and we especially want to thank Luci Busch for taking care of Ken and Kassi during the past three weeks.

Ken will be returning to work next week on a limited basis as he continues his rehabilitation.

A benefit race & show, for both motorcycles and cars, is in the works for early October at US 19 Dragway in Albany, Georgia to help pay Ken's medical expenses. We will also be selling raffle tickets for a 113" polished V-Twin engine generously donated by S&S Cycle, Inc.
