Here's the latest update on Clark. Just got off the phone with his wife.
Clark is currently in the ICU at OHSU. He has several broken ribs on his
left side and they may be separated at the back. No surgery planned. He has
2 punctures in his left lung. He also has a bruised heart. Clark is taking
O2 by mask, is fully conscious and eating food regularly. His first words to
his wife when she got to the ER was "Where's my bike?" Another FYI, Clark
had an emergency appendectomy the previous weekend and was back on his bike
again this past Tues! On Saturday he was on his way to the Team Rose City
ride at Liberty HS when he was hit at the intersection of SW Allen Blvd and
Western Ave in Beaverton. He's been training hard since last year for
Masters Road Nationals in Bend. Clark is 76 years young. What a bummer.

So bottom line, barring any complications, Clark will recover and be back on
his bike again. His wife will let me know when he can accept visitors
outside of immediate family. Marge wants to thank all those who have
contacted her and offered their support. She's also very appreciative of
how the Beaverton Police Dept has treated her and the accident to date.

Thanks everyone for their concern and support.
