As we are aware, the Philippines have been pummeled by this terrible event. We all wish that our friend Andres and his loved ones are well, and express our deepest sympathy for such terrible human loss. Best regards, Alberto
Dear all,* Just a short note to say the typhoon passed south of us, so we were spared. It could have very easily hit us directly. The devastation where it passed was almost complete. There but for the grace of God ... Thank you for your concern. l truly appreciate it. Best,* Andy
Andy, With all of what we can see, the devastation is pretty extreme. I am glad you faired well, but I hope the best for others. Being in Houston, hurricanes are never fun and always have impacts that follow for months and years. Please wish the best to you and the families you know. Picking up the pieces is always seen as unbelievable today, although in the days that come, making it through, make it seem not as hard as you realize in the years to come. You will look back and wonder how it could have been all put back into a positive direction. Shawn
Andy, So glad to hear that you did not experience the horror of the typhoon. I hope that your countrymen will soon be back on their feet again. The entire world community stands poised to help. Regards, Fred
Thank you very much for writing, Shawn, Fred, Alberto, all. It is said that the friendships formed on the web are not real, but I feel your concern and friendship strongly and am grateful for that. Please stay safe, and best regards, Andy
