| ->> FYI, Dave Martin suffered a car accident while returning from Gulf Shores, AL covering Tropical Storm Ida on Tuesday. Dave's SUV hydroplaned on the highway and he went down an embankment and rolled over many times. Thankfully, he was wearing a seat belt. Dave suffered an L-2 fracture and is in a lot of pain. He totaled his car and ruined much of his gear. |

| ->> Had the pleasure of working with Mullet many years ago. Echoing the thoughts of others: he's a super talented shooter and all around great guy. Praying for his speedy recovery. |

->> Thanks for the update Al.
Please let us know if you hear anything else. Mullet was in Montgomery while I was in Birmingham. He taught me everything I know about big sports coverage.
To echo Mark Terrell's comment...Dave is probably the only person I know who has covered 3 Div I NCAA football games in a single day. He covered an Alabama game in the morning. Hit the second half of the Univeristy of Alabama at Birmingham's inaugural Division I game in Birmingham and then made it to the night kickoff of the Auburn game.
Here's hoping you get back on your feet soon Mullet. |
