Hi Barrie, I am saddened to hear what has happened to your mom. I too am saddened to hear that Obs's crime rate has not decreased.
I do hope that she recovers fully. Wishing you and your family strength during this time. Channeling back to the crime segment; I feel the community needs to gain back "their" Obs, as the crime can only be tackled if all are on board. Good luck "Observatorians". I wish to visit the area again soon. On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 10:49 AM, Jonah Sack <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Barrie > > I'm so sorry to hear about this.
