Friends and supporters of former Marble Falls city manager Ralph Hendricks gathered on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 23, to celebrate his recovery.
After a year-long recovery process, Hendricks is returning to his life in Marble Falls in the wake of an egregious head injury sustained in a accident on Oct. 12, 2013, while bicycling with a group on CR 340.
The group presented Hendricks with mementos of their support, including a signed racing jersey from the "Ride and Run for Ralph” at the start of the 60-mile Texas Cycling Challenge sponsored by Race Across America in March 2014. Rives said that Hendricks had participated in the challenge for the last two years.
“We were collecting things while you were recuperating,” said Bill Rives, executive director of the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce.
