Stuart:

Thank you so very much.  I am in New Orleans right now.  I have tried all day to volunteer for duty once again as a New Orleans Police officer.  The City is so disorganized that there were no police organizations that knew what to do with individuals volunteering.  I may end up flying to Redmond tomorrow, but I am still hoping that I will get a call so that I may help.

Thanks for the thoughts, I am a bit apprehensive though about spouting off too much about my own problems.  Suffice it to say that I am glad to know that you care.

If you and your family are O.K. please post a status report for all of your "Lancair Family" so we can help if necessary.

We wish you the best,
