I'm overwhelmed by all the texts, phone calls, Facebook messages, etc. after my accident on the sidelines on Friday night at the Ocean City-EHT game. I've been shooting football games for 24 years... Never been hit. Until Friday... Minimum six weeks of rehab & recovery ahead. I'll get back to ACIT as soon as possible. In the meantime, the video is attached. Appreciate all the LOVE....!
