Gary

Gary Morris was my teacher back in the 1980’s. I was his helper. My job was to anticipate what he’d require next to get the job done. Gary’s work was careful, strong and excellent.

A car jumped over the CSX-Buckingham Branch tracks the morning of June 5, a highly unusual occurrence. On a typical day thousands of vehicles go under the tracks via Franklin Street between Carlton Avenue and Market Street, no one goes over.
Sources speculate the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed north on Franklin. At an estimated 80 mph the car blew through the stop sign , mowed through vegetation, went up the 45% incline, jumped the railroad tracks and was stopped suddenly on the north side of the embankment by a 12″ diameter tree.
Nigel Wood Tree Service loaned 4×8 poly-carbonate sheets to the homeowner enabling Charlottesville Wrecker’s recovery of the vehicle without damage to the turf.
