Re: [Chrysler300] Sandy - Report from the shore

[Ray Jones <1970hurst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pete;
Glad you got thru all right!
Luckier than many, but so far, those list friends who have responded or
someone respond for, seem to be OK.

Biggest problem you folks back there have to face is all the poor souls who
don't live in the real world, where everything must be in place and working
for them. They have no ability to cope with the system pulled from under
their feet.

Gonna be long and slow recovery

Keep the faith my friend, Ray
