Glad to hear from you and I agree that what we've seen is devastating. I'm in New York, but my grandmother lived in Black Mountain, so I spent a lot of time in this beautiful area, got to know both the area and so many friends. And you're right, this area is a beautiful blue dot, judging by the people I met and became friends with. I get choked up just looking at what we've seen so far.
Please let us know how you're doing and any news that you're capable of receiving - and know that we're thinking of you and your family and neighbors.
