But four weeks after the accident, his son said Colgan is committed to reclaiming his life — no matter how long it takes.“He’s able to move the fingers on his right hand. He can raise his knee a little bit, and he has had some small movements on his left side,” said Colgan’s son, Kevin. “There is connection there – and there is movement.”Colgan, who spent more than 50 years reporting on news in the Bay Area, was approaching his retirement home in Goodyear, Ariz., when he tripped and broke his neck.

Still, he added later, “we just don’t know ...
