Paul, thank you for posting your very vivid story of your family's experience in the Joplin tornado. Watching the news on tv, even listening to the many survivor interviews, didn't bring it alive to me as much as your words did. You have a real ability to articulate your feelings & impressions, and I thank you for sharing that.
And I've been thinking on (as Andy would say) what a blessing we have with today's communication options. The fact that Paul could communicate with all of us such a short time after his world was so devastated is an awesome thing. If we really were back in the good old days of Mayberry, it could be weeks before word would finally start trickling out about the extent of the devastation and the fate of our friends & loved ones. So, as much as I've always said I'd love to live in Mayberry in those days, and as much as I've often resented the intrusion of today's "electronal" marvels, Paul's BlackBerry is one whose value I now fully appreciate. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
