Fellow MoPoers: My deepest, heartfelt thanks to all of your for your prayers
and concerns during Hurricane Rita. We made it through with a small amount of
property damage, the usual fallen limbs and leaves and a brief power outage. Others
both near and suffered far worse. At this writing, there are still 600,000
people in The city is slowly crawling back to life as cars are
streaming back via the highways in an orderly return based on which area of the
county which you live. Nearby cities like Port Arthur and Last night, we left the house for the first time in three
days to survey the damage in our area, and, surprisingly, found a family-owned Mexican
restaurant open and bulging with people. The laughter and conversation filled
the room as waiters hustled about. Everything appeared so normal; it is hard to
believe that 36 hours all were huddled in places seeking shelter from the
coming storm. Such is the resiliency of the human spirit… As things slowly return to the routine, I am busily bringing
my office back to life returning computers and inventory from storage. I found
time to post a small selection of vintage posters and lobby cards on E-Bay.
