I have a friend down there as well who lives just off of mobile
bay. I too know he did not evacuate. He works for alltel as a cellular
telephone tecnecian. I think what you are doing is a great thing. I
am currently working in iraq and feel helpless to do anything in this
situation.
It was once said that a friend is the person you call when you are in jail.
However a true friend would be setting there in jail beside you.
Thank You for wading into the shit for me......
