Show Recovering Mark Rigtrup, of this city, press photographer, who was seriously injured while photographing pho-tographing a traffic accident, Nov. 15, celebrated his 24th birthday Tuesday, confined to his bed at Utah Valley Hospital. Besides head injuries and amnesia, he suffered two fractured legs and a fractured frac-tured arm. He is reported to be progressing pro-gressing slowly after a long siege of unconsciousness at the Holy Cross Hospital, Salt Lake City, and was permitted permit-ted this weekend to be removed re-moved back to Utah Valley Hospital, where he was treated after the accident. The hospital altered slightly slight-ly the rules of the sick room and permitted Mark's two sons, Jimmy, 4, and Mike, 2 and his wife, Deanna, to visit vis-it him as a special birthday favor. He could only smile, but it helped him a lot and was the best birthday gift he could have been given, said hospital attendants. |
