A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT

Many of you know david_ten.  David has been a respected and knowledgeable member of this forum for some time.  His musical journey has taken him down an interesting and thoughtful pathway.  He has always been a gentleman with a positive thing to say. When other members were at life's end, it was David who reached out to them. 

I have had the privilege of getting to know David a bit outside the realm of this forum. Sadly, David's safety and home encountered some trying times with the recent devastating hurricane in New Orleans.  Fortunately, he and his family are safe. However, his home sustained significant damage.  Trying to move forward with limited water, food, gasoline, and no electric service has been difficult indeed.

Please offer David a word of encouragement and/or your prayers during this difficult time. I'm sure he would appreciate that.  Yet one more reminder of all that we have to be thankful for.

   Very sad to hear about david_ten and his family. Disasters like this show that the people affected are not just stats or someone, somewhere else who's not somehow affiliated with us.
   The important thing is that he and his family are safe. Nothing can replace the lives of those we love and who are close to us.
   The hard part will be the rebuilding and/or going back as this is far from over. Reading up on what New Orleans is going through, not to mention  New York and Pennsylvania, the extensive damage wrought by this storm will be long lasting. 
   I feel the best way to help is to continue giving to the Red Cross or any on the ground institution that can offer direct and immediate aid.
   Here's hoping that we'll be hearing soon from david_ten again on these threads and that some of his stereo gear survived.

All the best,
Nonoise
