Sad News

I don't know how many of you have heard about the school bus accident that happened this week just a few miles N. of Marshall - Cottonwood MN. It has hit this community and surrounding areas very hard. 4 children died and there are 4-5 more that were flown to Sioux Falls hospitals and there were many that were injured - but most of them have been released. The bus was heading towards Marshall after school and a van (whom the driver was not licensed) ran a stop sign at high speed and flew into the bus. The bus rolled onto a pickup in the other lane. One of the children that died - his dad, Dan is a good friend of Terry's and they have worked together for years at Schwan’s and about a year ago he transferred to Terry's team. Dan has another son that was on the bus, and he broke his femur and had a ruptured spleen and was flown to Sioux Falls where they are at now. One family lost two kids in the accident. It’s just been a very difficult week around here for many.

Sorry this is not happy news from SW MN – but it truly makes one realize that things can change in a matter of seconds and to always hug and tell the ones you love, just how very much you do love them.

Sorry to hear about that. It does make a person think, that's for sure.
