"Drive safe."

At the YMCA where I work out, one friendly gentlemen always says goodbye to everybody ending with "Drive safe."  When I asked him about this, he related that after driving a truck for 25 years he had seen some pretty terrible things on the highway.  Having worked in a trauma center, I can relate.  This also struck a chord with me as I read the below link about another highway tragedy that occured locally.  This story speaks to loss and the great care/service we provided along with the CTDN.

Our most valuable resource here at CMC are our people - those who directly provide care and those who provide the support to do so.  And so during the hectic upcoming holiday season I ask you to preserve this resource (you) and please.............."Drive safe."
