Linda, That cuzzin is back here now too, so please stop telling everyone we're related. And, yes, we're preparing for a Katrina butt-kicking here in W. PA now. Not everyone has recovered from hurricane flooding LAST fall, but apparently Katrina don't care.

On another list I'm on are a number of genealogical 'major players' who are slowly checking in. Feel free to let us all know you are OK if you're down in the south in particular. Someone spoke to Elizabeth Mills by phone in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She has a tree in her office, several other trees where they don't belong, damage to the deck, and no internet access. It could be up to a week before the internet service is back....they say. (I'm on a list that she's on but I'm afraid to say much!). I hope our our list members are okay. I know I've been worrying!! Visited one down in New Orleans a few years ago. We had a great evening together in the French Quarter at an Irish pub (where else??). The hangover's almost gone.... I heard from Ruth McFarland in Alabama (Hi Ruth!). I'm up here in Massachusetts where we get the rest of it tomorrow. My parents are in its path in Western Pennsylvania. On the up side I think I got a buyer for my house and will be moving to Western PA around Sept 30. Having been laid off from high paying, high stress job in 2001, I've been slowly learning to do professional genealogy, but all my business is in PA and VA and what the hey am I doing here? Esp when my parents are in PA and my dad's 84. One cuzzin (related a couple ways) cheered me up by reminding me about selling houses: "You only have to find one sucker". ....I think I did!! Yahoo! I also found my parents are willing to help find the new place (driving around to determine number of drive by shooting in immediate neighborhood). Motivation?? My 3 cats and one dog!!! I guess if they slack off I'll adopt a few more <grin>. Linda Merle (List Admin) ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fea.net
Hi Rob, My "common sense" tells me that, if Katrina followed the Mississippi River north .. eventually more water will go into New Orleans !
