Thanks to everybody that has contributed news and articles on Rik's accident! Special thanks to Janette Jakobs and Neva Vadeboncoeur for going above and beyond the call of duty in helping with article compilation!
Fellow fan Mark W. Lewis has set up a Get Well Soon Message Board [dead link] for Rik.
Rik's family has asked for privacy during this trying time, and I hope that all of his fans will respect that wish for his and his family's sake.
