Twoforty

I don't personally know his family, but his mother is my Grandmas cousin and when it first happened there were a lot of different stories floating around (probably not the best choice of words given the circumstances). the first was that he was wading the river when he slipped and hit his head on a rock and drowned. but then the whole float tube flipping story surfaced and it sounds as though when the tube flipped he knocked himself uncontious on a rock so there wasn't much he could do to get out of the tube and since it was in a river the others around him couldn't get to him fast enough. Another fellow i work with was origanlly from picture butte and was good friends with this guy and he told me that although he was one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet that he wasn't the smartest guy. Now however the old man and me have to fight with my grandma over how safe a float tube actually is when used properly, and to think I just used some birthday money my grandma gave me to buy a new float tube!!
