This was forwarded down from our safety manager in South Carolina. He knows these folks personally. A reminder for us all to be careful. I'm guessing they were using a PTO driven auger. I doesn't take but a second for to lose limbs or life. Read below:

Dear Friends,
I was asked to forward this email and request prayer for them. I would ask that you also forward it. The power of prayer can bring about great things. Let's just pray that God will see fit to heal her broken body.
Please pray for Katie Parsons and her family. She is the 14 year old daughter of James and Christine Parsons in Candor. Katie was in a very bad farming accident Saturday evening. She was helping put in fencing when her hair got caught in the PTO on the auger. When she reached down to pull it out she got tangled up in it. She was air lifted from the farm to Chapel Hill. After 10 hours of surgery her vitals are stable. Doctors are very optimistic about her survival. However, she has some loss. Katie was scalped and they could not save it. She has lost her right ear and 3 fingers. They are trying to save her arm. This is a critical time for blood flow to see what can be saved.
Her father is blaming himself heavily. The Parsons family has been in the farming business for 100's of years. They have the produce stand on the right as you come into Candor NC from Hwy. 211 East.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
