Liane/Prayers for Houston (OT)

June 9, 2001

Hi Liane,

Yes, upstate NY has seen the news coverage of the disaster in your

area. Every time they say " 24 inches of rain in the past week " our

jaws simply drop. That is unfathomable!

We are all praying here for the waters to quickly subside and the

damage to be kept to a minimum. What a testament to the strength of

your neighbors/co-workers that they have been able to keep even *two*

hospitals open! Our thoughts are with you all!
