"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…

"Hello Susan, glad to see you made it to this site. It's been fun catching up with friends from yesteryear. I'm sorry to hear about your farm being flooded, but it sounds as if you are taking the right steps towards rebuilding your losses. Let me…"
Hey, David! Thanks for the note. Glad to hear you're doing well. Your face and note sure bring back a lot of fond memories. We sure shared a precious time of our lives together. Hard to believe that so much time has passed. My oldest daugher is a pediatrician in San Antonio and married. My youngest is about to graduate from Clemson in landscape architecture. Laura is an interior designer with a beautiful shop downtown. And I'm a semi-retired reator. Life is great! We love the Lord and you too.
Hi David!
Yes, Blue and Deb are still here, still making candy. They have had two stores for the last few years and are next year changing to just one.(the other store raised the rent way high)
I will tell them you said hello....how would they email you? Is
there a way?
David! Wow...this is great--thanks for your note!! You live in Virginia? Where abouts? I love Virginia. And you have two kids....and 2 dogs?? Tell me what you're doin. Love, Cheryl
Hey David....gosh we just signed up to this site a little bit ago and already getting great emails from great friends. So good to hear from you. Danny wanted me to ask....didn't we visit you in Jamaica? Still remember the house and pictures taken out front. I still have those and on the boat we took. Great great times. Rhonda
Wow it's been a long time. I was just remembering those stuffed rolls that your mom made fro us. They were tasty.
I'm thankful to know that you are well. What part of Virginia do you live in? We go to a family camp that Bruce Mahone does in Virginia near Staunton.

David, your family is beautiful!!! I'm not sure exactly who's whom, but everybody looks happy & that's what matters! Are you a grandpa? I'm guessing the 2 boys (young men) are your sons & that the blue guys aren't (LOL!), but your profile doesn't give away too much info. It's just good to see your wonderful smile again & all the dear memories connected with it. Big hugs & much love!

Love to all,
