Thnks for this site Doug,
We are safe in the Kansas City area, MO side. Geneva and Valerie are safe at college in Buies Creek, NC. Walt is bringing in most of his work section's families to set up his office here, where we worked before coming to NO. Just waiting for the word to come back home... Our base, (Westbank side) fared well, we've heard. PTL
My cousin, Amy and her family in Bay StLouis lost everything, leveled. They've moved on to Baton Rouge.
Does anyone know where we can send our tithes?
Love you all and miss you,
Cathy for all of us

Cathy,
We were wondering about you guys! It seems like most of the Armed Forces could easily get going temporarily in another city. Glad to hear y'all are okay.
As for the tithes, the church uses Hibernia, and they have been out of sorts since their main offices are in New Orleans. We are in the process of trying to get our accounts going. We should have some info by mid week.

Hi,
Valerie wrote to many of you that we safely made it to Kansas/Missouri after Katrina hit New Orleans. Our house fared well, but we cannot go back yet. We are now in a furnished apartment, generously outfitted with all the household stuff and clothes and toys and books by one particular person, Ginny Zimmerman (our former neighbor Steve's mom) and other friends, including many donors from our former church, (Christ Community EFC). They sponsored a huge FREE yard sale or 'gym' sale. An overwhelming amount of things (more than two moving vans full) were donated, sorted and distributed to the approx 125 Marines and their families here.
Many of you know we lived here for four years, from 1998-2002ish. Its nice to be back here, since we had to leave our home. Our new address is 14913-203 Grand Summit Blvd Grand View, MO 64030. The phone number is 816-348-8992. and our cell phone number is still 504-931-0222. We guess we will be here for 3-6 months. God only knows! Anyway, now that we have a computer and the new info. we wanted to share it with you. Sorry if you get this more than once, just know we really want you to know how to keep in touch.
Even bigger news than this (for those of you who have not heard yet) is that Valerie and Josh have become engaged to be married! We are thrilled! Now, if we can just figure out when and where to have a wedding when we have so many unknowns for our near future...
Geneva and Valerie are both seniors at Campbell U and plan to graduate in May. We continue to homeschool Trevor and Victoria, yes, we brought all of our books, In case you hadn't heard, we were gone dropping off the big girls in NC , when we heard the weather report and could not return home. So we've been 'gone' for over a month.
That's enough for now, please write back or call if you have any questions.
