Just wondering how she and anyone else down that way fared with
Ivan. Hoping all is well.<<<<

I talked with Ren today. They have phone, but not electricity. Power may not
be restored for 2-3 weeks. But the grocery store, hospitals, and gas
stations have power.

Her yard was trashed---littered with debris, but her house was practically
untouched by wind or water. She feels very lucky. They're all safe and happy
to be home.

Pensacola Beach, where the hotel is, is unaccessible; mandatory evacuation
and the bridges are out, so no one can get on to check it out.

We're not yet ruling out P'cola for next year's conference. The hotels *say*
they'll be up and running by the spring. We'll wait to make decisions until
we hear what the real scoop is---maybe another month or so.

If you want to send her cards or letters, e-mail me privately. I'll be happy
to give you her address or phone number.

She says she misses everyone---and thanks for all the good wishes.

~Kelly
