Great stuff Dave, I have passed this on to alot of John’s friends from Indiana. It is good work you are doing, just must be hard to see the devastation. I am so glad J and L were out of harms way that night, but I know it still has to be hard on them.Give John regards and best wishes from Wally, Frank Terrell, Tim Burks, Denny, and myself.
Be carefull out there, Dave Cobb
I echo Dave’s thoughts – it is so unbelievable to look at the pictures. I can’t even imagine how devasting it must be to see in person. Please pass on to John & Lana our thoughts and prayers and let them know that we are willing to do whatever is needed for them and the town. Small town America needs to survive – just to keep us sane!

Lana, and John, – We are thinking of you from IOWA. I know you are busy, and have a zillion things to do and think about. Know that you are in our thoughts every day. We are able to break away in late June for a week, if we can be of help please let us know.
Love,
Dianna, Tom and Jack
