All, I want to thank those who were (are) concerned about CCSG as a group and individuals. AFAIK, we are all O.K. As most of you already know, we evacuated to different parts of the country as "Katrina" (cat. 4 hurricane) approached New Orleans. I spent the month of September in Hot Springs Village, AR. We were occupied most of the time with change of addresses, insurance adjusters, etc. Many of us have been stationed at different locations because of work assignments and so, may be hard to communicate with for a while. I know that Allen Evans and Lee Sykes are temporarily located with the Navy in Memphis, TN. Art Weller is (was) working very hard to help bring an oil refinery back into service. I think his home was O.K. Norman Maunz and Michael Bushnell were lucky and suffered no damage and are fine. I think Larry Janeski is temporarily stationed in Baton Rouge, LA (now the biggest city in the state). Mickey Guidroz did not live in a part of the state that had a major impact from the storm.
I am now temporarily stationed in Stoneville, MS. I have been spending much of my time trying to get work activity back to "normal". My house and probably my train stuff suffered catastrophic damage, but, hey, we all survived it...that's what counts. I plan to get into my house in a couple of weeks and see if anything is recoverable. CCSG is spread around the Mid-south part of the country and it may be some time before we all get together again. I am now trying to survey the damage to the club display layout and see what it will take to re-build it. We will definitely be back, but it will take some time (a year or more). Thanks again for your concern. Hopefully, some of us will make it to the S convention (NASG) next year and we can all discuss it over a beer. :-) Jeff Madden (Editor, Dispatch) has asked me to write up a little "blurb" about our experience with this disaster and I plan to do so in the next week or so.
