But apparently he got better.
A survivor if ever I saw one:
One more, 5th grade math teacher at Crescent Elementary back in 78. Lightning struck through the window and hit me square in the chest. It discolored my shirt and left a burned bruise on me. I was on the floor crying in pain and she told me to shut up, quit acting stupid and get back in my seat. No doctor, no help. It's a wonder I didn't die. I wish I could remember her name.
