So good to hear that Rick and Frank P. are well. It is amazing how 'attached' one can become to fellow board members.
During the storms traversing Florida last year, I often spoke of my "guys"... not totally gender identifying but rather the 'homey' feel of the boards. And the information has been top-rate..
With Katrina, I am sooo hungry for good news.. and knowing ya'll are safe is GOOD news.
