KNOXVILLE - Friends of a welder critically burned earlier this month in a mishap at a Calhoun's restaurant are planning a rally of support for the man.
Mark Moynihan, 40, is in serious condition at the Vanderbilt Medical Center Burn Unit. He was burned April 10 when flames erupted inside a tank he was welding at Calhoun's Bar-B-Q & Brew, 6515 Kingston Pike.
Lee Cantrell, a friend of Moynihan, said a rally will be held Friday from 6-8 p.m. at the pond at Pellissippi State Technical Community College as a show of support for the recovering man.
Cantrell said Moynihan is a student at Pellissippi State who was slated to graduate next month with a degree in mechanical engineering.
The informal gathering for the married Moynihan will allow friends and co-workers to say a few words in support of the burned man. Cantrell said Moynihan faces mulitple skin graft surgeries and at least nine months of recovery from his injuries.
Moynihan was featured in a 2007 News Sentinel story about his passion for brewing beer in his garage.
