Dear Doc, Sorry to hear about your torm damage. I got some damage in Norfolk and hope to go there in a week or so on my way to Abingdon. I luckily had a 12,000 watt generator installed by Dominion Power last year and it worked flawlessly, coming on after a 15 second outage and fed by my house natural gas supply. Did I tell you I am trying to buy a small house wonderfully located in Abingdon but needs lots of work. Am awaiting bank appraisal and hope to set closing date in next couple of weeks/ Today was the first day that my vision (suffering from microvasculr cranial nerve palsy) seems better. See my eye doctor tomorrow and specialist next week. Enjoyed your piece about Thomas Davenpory as did Chris Brown he faxed a copy of it to Leslie Davenport who is a retired college prof living in Savannah and with whom I spent some time recently in Abingdon. All the best and hope you are fully back in business and normal life by now. LOU.
