My grandfather was a firefighter in Wilmington, DE
We need to figure out sometime if our families knew each other! It seems likely.
A guy Bob works with (who lives in Austin) mentioned that his family is from Wilmington and it turns out that his family owned a liquor store that had previously been my great-grandfather's "cigar store" (aka betting shop). Small town.
amyth, I know it must be a relief in a way but I'm so sorry for your loss.
amyth, I'm so sorry. Peace to everyone.

They were Harveys and Halls. And we really need to grab JenP and do a Charcoal Pit run someday.
Brenda, I hope everyone's ok at your office in Christchurch.
amyth, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I have a fantasy that the Christchurch community will snap back in impressive time. At least, that is my hope for them.
I expect the community will be fine. My experience with the SF earthquake was that it drew people together. And I don't think it will result in the kind of depopulation that happened in New Orleans.
I'll be curious to see how they fix that cathedral.
amyth, I'm sorry for your loss.
Condolences, Amyth.
Gotta go move some more snow around.
