By the time you read it the latest Virginia political contest will be over. Primaries are my favorite political contests because the rancor is so much less. We never seem to direct the same level of scorn at those in our own political party. (Conservatives and John McCain may be an exception to this rule!) Whatever your political persuasion, I hope you made time to participate in the political process. One of the things I cherish about Rappahannock County is our high level of political participation.
Bad things do sometimes happen to good people. Brian Breeden is an Amissville resident who was badly injured in a car crash on New Year’s Day. Brian and his family are known to many locally. He attended Culpeper schools and worked at Grandpa Grooveys up until his accident. His parents, David and Pat Breeden, and grandparents, Harold and Erva Stover also still live here.
While Brian survived the accident, thanks to being flown by helicopter to Fairfax Trauma Center, he has a long, slow recovery ahead of him. His next stop will be a rehabilitation center where he’s expected to stay for six to nine months. Due to a recent set back Brian’s going back in for additional brain surgery this week. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Brian, like so many Americans, doesn’t have any health insurance. And the financial burden of this will be truly overwhelming. Anything any of us can do to help will mean a lot to Brian and his family. A fund has been set up at The Fauquier Bank in Warrenton for donations to help defray medical expenses. Checks can be mailed to:
The Brian Breeden Family Fund, The Fauquier Bank, 10 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, Virginia 20186
Please be generous with your money and your prayers!
