Dear Techs and CAUTS: I hope you all appreciate what you have and give your families big hugs tonight when you finish work!  This is truly gut wrenching!  I would be overwhelmed  if I lost my wife and son in such a manner!  The home, too, is HUGE.. and starting over has got to be such a challenge! Perhaps Home Office can line up a way for all of us to give $ and love!  I don't think cards and checks will work right now.  Wiring $$ with e-mail notes is all we can do.  Where would the letters go? I think the PO was destroyed as well. Spend what you would on flowers and cards to $$$. That's all we should do right now. I'm just so upset about this!  It could have easily been here in Nebraska!  I understand (a little) of what this must be like. We get our share of these storms, but so far, Lincoln is EXTREMELY LUCKY!  We've had our share, though, just not my time, I guess.... Bless your lucky stars that it doesn't happen to us all! PaulRJ has it right: we must embrace each other and help this situation out. we need to do this before the National in KC. Home Office: What say you?? I'm ready to give. Peace and Love to you all.
