"John, thank you for putting this together. There were (and still are!) so many wonderful people who have crossed our paths. This tribute to those whose lives and memories will live in our hearts is a reminder of the love we had (have) for God and of…"
"Hey John, great to finally "see" you here! Welcome aboard and enjoy finding long lost family and friends. I'm still in the same place I was when I last saw you and it feels good/strange to have lived in the same place for so many years. The nomadic…"
"I think I saw a statistic which said that like....95% of all hurricane deaths are from drowning.
That freakin storm surge is an incredible force too. Water is so powerful."
"For some reason hurricanes and tropical weather are a great interest of mine, even though I obviously never have to warn for them in South Dakota (tornadoes are enough here).
In either event, bathtubs or bathrooms are considered safe than other…"
"John and Kevin thanks for your thoughts. The subtle thing about hurricanes is that you are aware of them for many days in advance, just not their exact path. St Croix had not had a direct hit for over 70 years, so as with most adventures, people…"
"Wow! Like John said, what a story! My oldest brother, Chris Nye, lived through Hugo over on St Thomas, USVI. He lives neqar a place called "Red Hook".Their home is made of concrete block, so, he put his wife and little daughter in the bathtub during…"
HUGO: THE WINDS OF CHANGEHugo changed my life. "Hugo", the name itself unpretentious, unassuming, and innocuous, has been etched indelibly upon my brain. There have been other hurricanes - David, Frederick, Gilbert, and even Carol - plus many more I…

david,
i just found this site and have loved seeing familiar faces after so many years apart...but i have to say, seeing your smile again meant so much. your gentle strength and kindness is the strongest memory i have of you. steady...radiant. hope we can email. i would love to hear how God has blessed your life through the years.
Hello David! Thanks for your note. Scott and I just signed on today and I was just going through and seeing who we knew that was here and ...there you were! What a beautiful family you have...don't know about the blue guy.
David, Great to hear from you too. I just signed up yesterday & still haven't posted any photos. I'm a little slow with all this computer stuff but I'll figure it out. Enjoyed the photos of your family!
Yes, Dave it is my superbowl season--and it is a good one! We are coming out to VA for a family reunion around the 4th of July. If we can, I thought to come and pester you. I guess you dont get out here too often. Of course, if you do -- let me know. I miss your sense of humor. I still remember your great lines the next morning after Clintion got elected: "WOW, now everything will be great and beauiful in life....etc, etc" I am already using the lines... contemplating the future perfect society that is about to come our way.
naaa!:
not until HE returns!
