Greetings to all:

I continue to reestablish myself back in Lancaster after my Katrina Red Cross experience.
Today, the Lancaster New Era reporter Cindy Stauffer published a nice story about my experience and the stories of the folks in Mississippi.

It occured to me that I should offer some thanks to all those that supported my efforts during my stay in Mississippi.

- My wife Barb, as she always is, was a wonderful supporter of my efforts. From that initial encouragement, her patience in being a single parent for those three weeks, her ability to share my stories with all of you have been wonderful.
- My kids, Mike, Kelly, Katy and James were great supporters. Thanks to Mike for putting together the "Bob on the Gulf" blog, the girls for worrying about their Dad and James for holding the fort down with Mom. You're all great kids!
- The physicians of Lancaster Radiology Associates have been very generous with my time. They are great employers. Their support of this mission and their words of encouragement have meant a lot in my pursuit of the mission. Thanks to all, I was proud to represent LRA.
- All my family, friends and associates who have been so encouraging of the relief mission and so interested in the stories since I have returned. Thanks so much for the calls and emails. They have really meant so much to me to see the concern you all share.

More to come....

Bob
