My family and I do not know the Carter's. We learned of his accident at the Shreveport Linemans Rodeo. This page has become an hourly viewing for me - it's a wonderful page. Mike and his family have been and will continue to be in our prayers. May God continue to heal Mike and strengthen his family.
