Pittsburgh Steeler Training Camp started this week and it reminded me of how lucky Ben Roethlisberger is to be playing football this year. (And how lucky Pittsburgh is!) Just over a year ago, Big Ben was in a motorcycle accident that rocked Pittsburgh and the rest of the Steeler nation. We breathed a collective sigh of relief when our Superbowl quarterback was discharged from the hospital with high hopes of a full recovery.
Big Ben wouldn't go onto the football field without a helmet, and my guess is that if he ever gets on a bike again, you'll see him wearing a helmet. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we respect bikers' freedom of choice yet we see the devastating head injuries that can result when you don't wear a helmet. Many are fatal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimates that helmets saved 1,546 motorcyclists' lives in 2005, and that 728 more could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets.
So whenever you're riding on two wheels, we urge you to wear a helmet. And by the way, Go Steelers!

This was my first year to volunteer at our booth at Thunder in the Valley, the motorcycle rally held last weekend in Johnstown. I wasn't sure what to expect. I think many people have this stereotypical idea of motorcycle riders. I was expecting some intimidating and rough bikers. In reality, I was struck by what a friendly group of people I met. By and large, the bikers who attended Thunder in the Valley are a fun-loving, family-oriented and down-to-earth bunch.
Two questions I got over and over at the event were: Do you really see Edgar in the office? And what is he like? The answer to the first question is "YES!" Edgar leads the law firm and is totally involved in running ESA.
What's Edgar like? I have worked here for almost 20 years so obviously I am a big fan of Edgar's. If I had to describe him in just a few words, what comes to mind first is that he's a genuinely nice man, and very generous.
