Weekend Edition: Not Making It Up The Learning Curve
Two West Virginians who rode an ATV to the funeral of a man who died in an ATV accident were themselves hurt after the ceremony when their ATV hit a tree. One was hospitalized.
Neither Jimmy Spry, the driver, or Maggan Phillips, sister of the deceased, were wearing helmets when the accident occurred.
They were leaving the service for Dustin Phillips, who died last Saturday. His cause of death: severe head injuries after his ATV struck a tree.

” Not Making It Up The Learning Curve ”
You have no right to write about this or take the information for our local newspaper The Herald Dispatch. Don’t talk about learning to these kids, for one she is Duke’s sister and second Jimmy is one of his oldest friends, the riding of their ATV’S was in his memory, reporters have no consideration for others. Being one of his friends and pretty much family please take this off of your website. This does not need to be known worldwide.
