ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — A firefighter brain-damaged in a 1995 roof collapse had an "amazing" weekend, recognizing and speaking with his four sons and other family and friends for the first time in years, a family spokesman said Monday.
"I want to talk to my wife," Donald Herbert (search) said out of the blue Saturday at the skilled nursing facility where he has lived for more than seven years. Staff members put Linda Herbert on the telephone.
It was the first of many conversations he had during a 14-hour stretch, Herbert's uncle, Simon Manka said.
"How long have I been away?" Herbert asked.
"We told him almost 10 years," the uncle said. "He thought it was only three months."
Herbert was fighting a house fire Dec. 29, 1995, when the roof collapsed, burying him under debris. He was 37. After going without air for several minutes, Herbert was comatose for 2½ months and has undergone therapy ever since.

God bless him.
Lucky for him that ghoul Judge Greer didn't pull his feeding tube.

Praise God for this man and his family!
Wonder what could have been possible for Terry Schaivo?
Wow. What an amazing story!
"Lucky for him that ghoul Judge Greer didn't pull his feeding tube."
Seems to me that this story is an indictment of the character and integrity and legal scholarship of Greer.
I thought some Freeper was visiting the Michael Moore website again.
It's a good thing that his BFF didn't have designs on his PSP.
I'm surprised some judge hasn't ordered him dead.
Got an address?
On a positive note, he missed most of the Clinton regime.
I'm just wondering how long before the Greer/Felos/Michale Schiavo fans will show up here to disrupt this thread. Their MO has been to divert discussion to other questions and work in pairs (or perhaps the same person using different names since the sentence structures are similar) supporting each other.
Who broke the news to him that Clinotn won re-election?
"Now remember folks, no threats or profanity. We don't want to look bad here."
No way, just information to the big du-, the guy.
