ATTENTION

 THE HEARING THIS MORNING CONCERNING THE ACCIDENT INVOLVING LARRY NOEL HAS COME TO CONCLUSION.  THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HIT LARRY WAS JUDGED GUILTY AND FINED $1,007.00, HAD POINTS ASSESSED TO HIS LICENSE, AND HAD HIS LICENSE SUSPENDED FOR THREE MONTHS. THIS WAS THE MAXIMUM THE JUDGE COULD HAND DOWN BY LAW.

 I KNOW THAT THIS JUDGMENT DOES NOT COMPENSATE AND THAT NO JUDGMENT COULD COMPENSATE LARRY AND HIS WIFE FOR THEIR LOSS.  WE WILL KEEP UP THE FIGHT AND HOPE IN THE FUTURE THE PENALTIES WILL BE JUST.

 THANK YOU TO THE EIGHT ABATE MEMBERS WHO SHOWED UP FOR THE HEARING.

 THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE JUDGE WELCH.

 LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TO LARRY AND HIS WIFE, ON BEHALF OF ABATE OF FLORIDA, INC. WHITE SANDS CHAPTER, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE A PART IN THIS TRAGIC SAGA.  WE ARE AS CLOSE AS THE PHONE IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.  OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS. 

YOUR BROTHER,

 JD
