Hello all,
It is so good to read of everyone's whereabouts. The kids and I are in Bixby, Oklahoma (suburb of Tulsa) at my parents' house. (918)298-2189. My parents don't have a computer (argh!) but my good friend who lives near them has given me free reign at her house, so you can reach me at melindamorris@cox.net or my parents' phone. Paul and Caroline started school, reluctantly, here today. They miss friends and they (and I)particularly miss Tim, who stayed at the Times-Picayune with a skeleton staff through Tuesday morning, when they were evacuated on the back of a delivery truck on a 12-hour ride to Baton Rouge, where the T-P is now ensconced at LSU. Communication with him is tough but you can try temorris@cox.net. I'm sure he can use encouragement as he is without family and has very little personal possessions with him. Please pray for him.
We are looking forward to reuiniting as soon as possible. The kids are really struggling with Tim's absence.
FYI to Algerines: I spoke to Munn Hunds Tuesday night; he's pastor at Woodland Presbyterian and lives on my street (Hudson Place). He stayed throughout the storm. The whole neighborhood fared very well he says. However I have heard looters have moved into the west bank and I haven't been able to reach Munn again to see if he is safe and how that has affected things. Anyone who is considering going back to retrieve stuff should rethink that in my opinion until there is a lot more security in place.
We love you all,
Melinda for the Morris family
