In 1974 Grandpa Hill, Don Hill, was clearing stump logs around Karl Greimel’s Estate.  He was 16 years old and the blade on Mr. Greimel’ssaw was 16 inches long.  When the blade entered his leg he knew he was in trouble. As he drove himself to the hospital his left leg was warm and wet as his boot filled with blood.  At the hospital Don collapsed.  He came to and was soon being stitched half way up.  There was an interruption in the stitching and  a lack of Novocain that made it a very memorable experience.

Grandpa shares this story with his grandchildren, his children and all children hoping that they won’t make the mistakes he did.  Don’t work alone, especially with dangerous things like chainsaws in the snow on a hill.  Never cut up hill.  Don’t touchany of the tools or supplies  when you are laying on the bed getting stitched by a very busy Doctor.

Please share this story, with your family and friends.  Maybe it makes a difference to their futures as they Think Laugh and Live.

Grandchildren In the Audience (I think):  David, Annette, Breandan, Kyla, Lawrence, Edmund, Levi, Emma and Eoghan.

Author and Producer Grandpa Hill; Artist Amy Steele; Pickin Michael Steele.
