Subj:	(I) Steve & Allison Waskewicz Injured in Kansas Shooting



         You may have heard news coverage this weekend regarding a shooting
         incident in Topeka, Kansas.  What you may not have realized is
         that the family impacted is that of Steve Waskewicz, a disk
         specialist here in the Center in the IISG district.
                                   
         Steve, his wife Kathy, and three of their children left on
         vacation on Saturday.  While they were sleeping in their motel
         room, a stray bullet went through the window, first wounding Steve
         in the hand and then hitting their 11-year old daughter, Allison,
         in the eye.  The bullet lodged in the back of her skull and had to
         be removed in surgery Sunday morning.  Allison is now in stable
         condition, but she will have additional surgery before being moved
         back to Colorado Springs hopefully later this week.

         For more information about the family and how you might help them,
         please contact Tony Abdella, 592-4069, Dick Stuart, 592-4859, or 
         Beth Diaz, 592-5313.

         Thank you --

    Good Morning all! 
    As Steven's sister, I can't convey enough heartfelt thanks for your 
    thoughts and prayers. 
    
    For those of you who know Steve & Cath (and those who don't) they're 
    the kind of folks who'll take this tragedy and turn it into something 
    positive through their strength in faith & love, etc. etc.
    
    Again, thanks for your thoughts and pls keep Ali and the family in
    your prayers. We're thinking there's no greater power!

Hello all,

                                
As of last night when I talked with Steve things looked much better, Allison
was moved from ICU into Ped ward which is a promising sign. We have set up
a local trust/savings account and have received a lot of help and interest
from both the DEC community and the C.Springs community. We have 2 CSC/IISG
engineers that are pilots and a 6 seater plane lined up and 2 drivers to
bring the family car back. This morning I also got an offer from a local
person of a Cessna 310 and his time to fly them back and the possibility
that a local church will pick up the fuel. I'll update as things develop.

Regards,

Dick Stuart

Hello All,

just talked with Steve, he said they will not be releasing Allison before
next Tuesday. At present we have the plane and the local realtor group may
be picking up the fuel costs. A1 paramedics has donated the ground transport
from Meadow Lake airport to the Waskewicz home.

Again many thanks to all that are helping,

Dick Stuart

Hello All,

Just talked with Steve, and Allison will be released at 1500 CST today. 
Her surgeon however will not let her fly for medical reasons. They plan to
take it easy across Kansas staying at major cities enroute.

Thanks to all for the help,

Dick
