Zane starts High School


Zane started cross country last week and he started high school this week.

Although he's a teenager and very, very cool, he still allowed his mother to pick him up from his dad's house, drive him to school, park in front of the school and take pictures of him walking to school. His one request was that I don't get out of the car. I actually didn't but I was tempted.

Zane the hero! Zane had a little excitement this week. While running behind the team, he heard, "HELP! HELP!" He thought it was one of the other kids messing with him and Zane said to the voice, "Are you messing with me?!" The voice said, "No!" Zane went into some trees behind a secluded house and there was a badly injured man laying on the ground. A cottonwood tree fell over and hit him (but did not pin him to the ground). His leg was obviously deformed. Zane wasn't supposed to have his cell phone on him but he did and he called 911 and he and some team mates stayed with the man until the ambulance arrived. The guy was flight for lifed out to Idaho Falls where he is being treated for a broken back, broken ribs, dislocated hip, broken shin and ankle. Way to go Zane!!
