Miracle in Claryville

When Kathleen Aitken's son Joe was attacked by Jesse Horos with a baseball bat at a Claryville party last summer, a series of improbable events led to his survival. The first miracle? Cell phone service in an impossible place:

Kathy says that the miracles started when a young man who was a witness to the attack called for help from a cell phone in Claryville. There is no cell service in Claryville. But somehow there was on August 8.

The entire story of Joe Aitken's injury and slow but steady recovery is told in a long feature story in the Catskill Chronicle this week.
