I'm sure we are all breathing a huge collective sigh of relief. For many of us
outside the storm zone, this past week has been one of constant news-watching,
sorrow, and worry.
It has been heart-wrenching--and horrific--to hear about the conditions in a
part of the country so many of us associate with good times and good friends.
Chuck, please let us know how we can help; and in the meantime accept our very
best wishes for you & your family.

Wow. You like me, you really like me! It feels like we've been really
really busy, but haven't seemed to do much of anything. Last Thursday
I set up a Google group for our staff, since the hnoc.org mail is
down, and about 27 people have checked in. More are coming on every
day. We're working from there.
Terribly self-indulgent, but it saves time to send you to the family
web-site for an update:

There's also a little bit of descripton at www.flickr.com/photos/chuckp/
