A Speedy Recovery, Part 2

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

From Gary Glass at Iwata-Medea…

Good news! I just spoke with Pam; she says the doctors agreed that Donn would be best served at this point to recover at home. His skull is cracked but won’t require surgery; it should just heal in place. So Donn is going home today with Pam. Unfortunately Donn has some severe restrictions regarding do’s and dont’s during the next few weeks. So Pam will NOT be attending the Bike Week or East Coast Air Affair she had previously planned to attend. At this point I’m not certain of her participation in Chicago for the Art Methods Show, but keep in touch for updates as they happen.

Flowers and get well cards can be sent to their address at home:

Donn Shanteau
13810 Co. Rd. 4-1
Swanton, OH 43558

Pam and Donn wanted me to pass on her sincere thanks for everyone’s thoughts and prayers during this time. She feels that this has helped her greatly in coping with the situation. Donn’s a tough guy and he’s determined to make a full recovery!

A Speedy Recovery…

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

This week Donn “Too Tall” Shanteau, husband of airbrush artist and instructor Pamela Shanteau, was involved in a motorcycle accident while riding his custom Harley, The Dragon Stomper.

Apparently, Donn was following a truck pulling a small boat on a trailer. The truck was stopping and the trailer had no tail lights or brake lights. Donn, in his attempt to avoid collision with the trailer, ended up flying of the road, and both he and bike went airborne. Donn was lifelined to the hospital. This happened a couple days ago and Donn is now in the hospital, in ICU, with a cracked skull, and no shortage of bruises. He also had some fluid or blood build up on his brain, but they have it under control. Thankfully, no other broken bones though, and in time Donn should heal. In the interim, Pamela apologizes to any students scheduled for her upcoming appearance at the forthcoming ASET Air Affair East this May 30th-31st at Williams, PA, as she’ll be keeping Donn humble for a while. Knowing Donn, he’ll be riding before we all know he was down.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Donn for a speedy recovery, and for Pam’s strength through the healing process.

Stay tuned to AirbrushTour for updates.
