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.

David, I am a relatively new member from Nova Scotia in Canada but we have watched in sadness the destruction that hurricanes bring to the US. We know as we get the tail end of those storms…sometimes they fizzle out and just become a tropical storm but on occasion they remain strong and we get category 1’s all the way up here and I think about all the destruction it has made in its path. 
My heart and soul go out to you and yours David. I hope you can find the resiliency to bounce back and get your life back to normal. Canadians look on in disbelief as these strong weather patterns move through and how it affects everyone’s lives…I don’t have any children but I think of all the animals as well that are affected. It all troubles me. My sister and children returned to Canada after living in Venice, FL for 18 years…they have experienced the threat of hurricanes and they are back in Nova Scotia.

We’re so glad you and your wife are safe!  Were you able to save anything from your home?

All the best!

Glad to hear you and your family are safe.  The devastation in New Orleans and environs is mind boggling.  It was also quite shocking to hear of all the drowning deaths here in NJ and across the river in NYC. 

Bad things happen to good people, hug your family as they are the most precious of all that surrounds you.

Warm Regards,
barts
