They call themselves "The Wild Bunch," and this trio of tenacious, senior ladies lived up to the name.
Seven weeks after their vehicle flipped on south-bound Interstate 81, the ladies drove to Chic's Beach to thank their rescuer .
"We had to do it," said Frances Reynard, 65, whose vehicle was totaled in the wreck. "Wally's our guardian angel."

On the afternoon of May
6, en route to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., with Reynard at the wheel, her sister Evelyn Gant in the passenger seat, and close friend Theda Rose in the back, their Ford Escape lost control on a diesel-fuel slick.oil painting
"We smelled a strong odor and the next thing, we were rolling," said Reynard of Edinburg, Va., an experienced driver used to accompanying her husband on his truck runs.
The vehicle overturned multiple times and Reynard was powerless until it came to rest tipped onto the driver's side.

"I cut off the engine as soon as my hands were free," she said.oil painting
Chic's Beach resident Wally Damon Jr., on his way to collect his son's belongings from Virginia Tech, saw the SUV slide off the road and flip.oil painting
"I changed lanes to get over and help, but then I hit the fuel slick and lost control," he said.
Several hundred heart-stopping feet later, Damon came to a stop . He backed up to where the threesome's overturned vehicle was resting. The car's occupants were wedged on the driver's side.

"Nobody was stopping, and we were hollering for help," said Gant, 67, of Catlett, Va.
"One man had stopped, and he went running past with his cell phone," said Damon, 59, a business manager for Tidewater Carpenter's Union. "I guess he was looking for the mile post to call 911."
The overwhelming smell of fuel was alarming . "I was extremely motivated to get them out, for fear of fire," Damon said.

He climbed in the passenger window and ultimately kicked out the windshield. He then used his pocket knife to cut Gant free of her seatbelt and pulled each one through the windshield.
Reynard, who had lost her cell phone in the wreck, used Damon's to call her daughter before leaving the accident scene by ambulance.

Damon received first-aid at the scene for gashes from the windshield glass then traveled on to meet with his son at Tech. Worried about the women, he used Reynard's daughter's number recorded in his phone to contact them. He learned that the women were treated in Roanoke and released.

Reynard, Gant and Rose recuperated briefly and were on the road again, catching a tour bus to New York City, then heading to Virginia Beach in Reynard's new Ford mont blanc pen Escape.
"We're all widows, and you can't sit around at home, feeling sorry for yourself," said Rose, 76, of Manassas, Va.
They joined Damon, his wife Kathy, son Andrew and daughter Caroline for lunch and a tour of the city.
"You can be sure we'll be back to see him again," Reynard said. "We know the way."

Suppressed as being placed in high

Suppressed as being placed in high definition under the magnifying glass, constantly expanding in the eye pupil, and even the people do not see the infinite expansion of the edge. In this silence was suffocating boredom days, I suddenly found myself recently likes to wear heels after injury. I do not know that shoes do not fit me or I do not fit shoes. Obviously this is not a need to go into the issue, but I'm stubborn problem for this.

Walking along the street when the feet are always slightly awkward. Heel heel touching the wound slightly, then the pain caused by stiff breezes. This pain is not intense, it is difficult to ignore its existence. In fact, often misses before going out to buy a few Band-Aid, but it seems the more you want to remember the more easy to forget, forgetful of patience at this time on its head, even if your feet can not remember with pain before in the dormitory were stopped by Shui turn into a supermarket. Do not think that point was wiser to go out and caring can remember naturally, the result is to teach a deeper understanding of what its called forgotten.

Finally, I really can not find a dress was not so uncomfortable shoes. Dum was borrowed from a pair of new shoes, pure white, smooth upper slope just right now. I love it. Dum's footed than I am, but I took shoes to wear when the feet are surprisingly just right. Instant secretly think that something was about to slowly clear up. However, about feet long been accustomed to wear the pain of injury until the return to quarters downstairs only vaguely aware of the foot of the uncomfortable.

Took off his shoes, through the faint light on the phone screen, she saw his feet were worn out in a long time, most injuries. In which small inconspicuous dark wound, in the end until it has flushed the blood. Eventually hold herself back any. Been wrapped around the red tape that I have them not want to care. Spent many nights take a good few blocks just to find the right pair of shoes. But you know what that is ready to sacrifice nothing but frustration last What? Resentment filled with all the senses, a strange stomach constantly accumulated grievances and then quickly spread.

I think I want to act wildly stamping their feet so I would like to squat on the roadside crying, every cell in the body need a complete catharsis. In fact I am very quiet. Perhaps because of fatigue, or maybe because of the courage to indulge his childhood Publicity and presumptuous, I just quietly walk in to when the road. Clearly off the night lights off, I can not detect a lame limped. I just want a pair of proper shoes, not frayed heel shoes. I stubbornly believe that as long as the right to find a pair of shoes, all the panic and anxiety will have a fitting for a break. Although the days not because of foot wounds and gradual repression.
