Just wanted to say HI…and I know I personally have not really posted since the new format…had lots of trouble w/ it myself…guess I am not that computer savvy…Ummm sheeesh…and I hate to come back here on these terms but I need a favor from you guys (gals). BillKnepp is a great admirer of some of you. He has done swaps w/ you guys, and emailed, shared stories I know…I even shared a recipe or two… 
Anyways…my Bill…my dear husband had an accident at work Monday. From what I was told he had passed out and then fell pretty hard, or hit something on the way down, but, needless to say…ended up in the ER and then life flighted to the local medical center, big one…huge. He had to have emergency surgery Monday night, on his brain…to remove some blood that pooled. Was also treated for what appeared to be a clot in his lungs. He is still in ICU at the hospital…NightHawk might recognize the name of it…and he is recovering, seems to know who I am and all…but its gonna take time to get back to his old self…Please hold him in your thoughts and prayers…all of us really. It will be quite a struggle for us…He misses our kids…and hates the thought that as our soul income he will be out of work for months, rehabilitating…Hold us close please…Again sorry to come back here like this…
Thank you all…I will try to update as I can. 
Mrs. Knepp,
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing. Hoping all the best for you and Bill in the days ahead.

You, Bill and the rest of your loved ones will be lifted up in our prayers here in East TN. John

I hope that all comes out well for Bill. He will be missed here until his return. Don’t hesitate to post here if your just feeling down or tired from what will surely seem like a long recovery.
There is almost always someone on line to respond even in the wee hours.
I am really sorry to hear this, such bad news. Thank you for thinking to share it with us in this difficult time. If you need anything at all don’t hesitate to ask… and pass on our warmest regards and best wishes to Bill and family. We will be thinking of you and praying for the best outcome soon.
Here’s wishing all the best. Hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

Bill is certainly in our prayers here in Ohio. Thank you for allowing us, your FAOL family, to share in Bill’s recovery.
God Bless,

I am truly humbled by the response to this post…Even though some didn’t reply at least they read it, and hopefully are praying w/ us. I have yet to get to the hospital today, as I was graced w/ a flat tire on my way to the hospital last night…and well the doughnut is on their now, needless to say…the hospital is a little over an hour from home…so I have to make other arrangements today. Just keep us in your prayers, he really was looking forward to getting on the water this year…more-so then last…and using his 'yak that he bought last year and used twice I think … Thanks to all of you…I need good listeners right now, my family is in NY…and my Dad having his own issues health wise right now…so between Dad, Bill, and the kids…I have alot going on.
Bless you all…
Shari Knepp
My prayers go out to both of you. Your family here on faol will eagerly wait your return here on the Bullitin board. So Get well soon and Be sure to keep us updated on Your recovery.
Make sure to keep us posted on his progress. You do not realize how powerful prayer is with FAOL members and Bill is going to make it back to you and us faster than most people because of his FAOL “family”. We are a powerful bunch and I really think we have an inside track with the Almightly.
You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Your FAOL family will provide the strength and prayers needed. We’re here for you and Bill. If anything is needed, you know you can call on us.
You all have my prayers too. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Please do let us know as we can be of help in other ways.
Ed
I have added your family and especially Bill to our prayer list. Please know you have been prayed for today! And we will continue to pray until further notice. May God’s comfort and care hold you in peace and God’s Will be done.

Mrs. Knepp, I will include Bill, you and your family in my prayers. God bless your family and may he watch over Bill for a speedy and full recovery. Keep us posted when you can.
Hey Shari,
I’m very sorry to hear about Bill’s accident and the other health issues challenging your family.
Wow! This has been a very tough week for a couple of FAOL board members and their families.
Helen and I will be praying for Bill’s quick recovery, and that you and the entire Knepp family will be covered with God’s grace.
Know that He has a miracle with Bill’s name on it, in fact, He has a miracle for your whole family.
I hope things smooth out for you and your family quickly, and you’re soon back to share some good news with your extended fishing family.
Thanks for letting us know, and then in believing in the power of prayer!
In His name,
Terry
True beauty emanates from a selfless heart. Bill’s heart is about as big as they get.
We are praying for a speedy recovery. Jonezee
