    Just a heads up - I just spoke with Mary Latsis from the WB2news room about Kips heroics....pointed her to this thread and am hoping she can get enough information to put together a news story for their 9pm show this week.

    Go Kip!!!

    Hey guys, thanks again for all the kind words.

    If the news does pick the story up, the message that I would like to relay in order to put sport bike riders in a positive light, particularly CSC members, is that even though we may ride fast at times we do value our lives and we also value the lives of others. That's why I can confidently say any CSC member would have done the same as I did.

    Nice job Kip! It's a good thing you didn't worry about getting into the water. The creek has been raging this year too!

    It would be cool if you could see how that baby progresses through life. You may have changed history! BTW, how did the baby get into the river?

    I'm assuming the baby was o.k. It was crying and able to stand on it's own. The bumps on her head were starting to swell, but she looked o.k., just beaten up by the currents and rocks. I got the impression this may have been a poor spanish family, so I don't know if they took her to the hospital or not....I hope they did.

    I was told the family was having a picnic and a few children were playing in a calm part of the river, but the baby ventured a little too far out and the current pulled it in.

    Kip, I have been thinking about the chances of getting a story written for this.....do you have any names or information about that family?

    My feeling, having been in TV for a while, is that if the reporter can't establish contact with that family and "flesh" out the human details of this, they probably won't pursue it....it would be too vague and ambigious for a story....as good a story as it is.

    I really want to help with this, if I can.

    No Sacheri, I have no idea who the family is or how to get in touch with them and they have no idea who I am. The only witnesses were the baby's family and members of the club I was riding with that day...Allen(CFRSR member), Chris and Roger (CSC members).

    Once it was over, Allen and I poured the water out of our boots, hopped on our bikes and rode home soaking wet, leaving the family on the side of the raod still crying and hugging eacth other.

    Well, and you had God for a witness as well...

    perhaps the family will step up and tell their story and the pieces will come together....meanwhile, we can celebrate the good that came out of your heroic efforts and salute you and Allen and Chris for what you did and the person you are!

    I look forward to meeting you tonight!

    I'm going to unsticky this thread now, but I will move it to the archives forum after a few days so it doesn't get auto-deleted from the site.
