Mrs. Berger's Brother
Improving from
Blasts in Burns
James E. Edwards, Jr., ot
Yale, recently injured in an
explosion on the O.S.U.
campus, is improving each
day, his sister, Mrs. Don
(Jerry) Berger said Monday.
A brother of Edwards, Don
Edwards, is also a Mannford
resident.
Edwards is a patient in the
Baptist Memorial Hospital,
Oklahoma City. A electrician,
he received second and third
degree burns over most of his
body following an explosion in
an underground steam tunnel
caused by seeping natural gas.
Edwards was working in the
tunnel to repair malfunctioning
street light circuits on the
campus when the blast oc-
curred. Officials said manhole
covers in that area were lifted
"12-to 17-inches" by the force
of the explosion.
Physical plant assistant
director Donald Shepherd said
the cause of the gas seepage
was not immediately known
and the blast apparently had
been set off when Edwards
activated a circuit.
"His condition is definitely
improving,” Mrs. Berger said
“He is getting better day by
day and is in excellent spirits. ”
