The situation around San Diego is so strange. My sister-in-law's fairly new home outside Ramona, CA was completely destroyed earlier this week in the unbelievable number of wildfires out there. Now would be a great time to win the lotto somewhere!

Lian and Bruce Barton - Ramona, CA - house gone but family is safe and well
Sue and Mark Thygesen - Ramona, CA - house and family fine
Dick Chmiel and family - Ramona, CA - am trying to find out their status - Dick was my manager at General Dynamics - Electronics Div in San Diego during the late 1980's (a great guy with a very nice family)
Jack and Marjorie Cox - La Mesa, CA - house and family are fine
David Shumilak - San Diego, CA - am trying to find out his status - but his house is in the city so he should be okay - my fingers are crossed!

We're hoping for the best for the people in Southern California. I wish I could be out there to help them!
