[Dialogue] Zervigon update

Tue Sep 13 12:18:48 EDT 2005

Carlos,
So good to hear from you that all are safe and you had a family 
celebration in the midst of it all. Good also to hear that your home 
sustained limited damage.
Rod and I are watching Tropical Storm Ophelia now to see what it 
decides to do. We have a house on NC Outer Banks...and it could get 
bad...or turn out to be nothing.
We've tried to do what little we could to help with the great needs 
coming out of your city. Our church has taken in several families from 
NO and raised a lot of money to send. Just giving money never seems 
like an adequate response.
All the best to you and your family.
Priscilla Wilson
