They mean 23year old Sheldon Moon right? Also is he alright in the head still? I would rather the poor guy be ok in the head and in a wheel chair for life, then the complete opposite. Hope you pull through bud!
They are having a Benefit for Sheldon next Saturday August 27th at the Elkland Moose. He is currently at a rehabilitation facility.
