[RCSE] One of our own, underwater in New Orleans

2005-08-31 Thread GordySoar



Most of you know Paul Perret, he was recently see at the MidSouth Soaring 
Champs in Atlanta, but is a past electric soaring Nats Champ and creator of the 
LASOAR TD ship years back.

His place is under water, he managed to get away with a couple of suitcases 
and family and is hunkered down with his son in Ft Worth area.

In the least he could use a plane to fly weekends out your way, and lets 
keep our wallets ready in case he needs more than that to get his families lives 
back going.

Here's Paul's email address, but don't be sending condolences, the last 
thing he needs right now is a mail box of well wishes. Let's keep it to 
the rule of when everything is posted and done, that you have done more than 
emailed...:-) You can bet he gets the part that we all feel bad for him, and 
wish him a better future...instead get his butt out for some soaring...and 
send money if you got it. He's a proud manwho's been an excellent provider 
for hisfamily, so likely not all that interested in 'help', but that's his 
problem not ours! :-)

So if someone out there has a TD ship to spare and some time to take 
him flying, contact him and let him know.

He obviously lost all of his modeling stuff. He will have things of more 
import over the next few months. At the appropriate time we can see to it he 
gets some equipment. I'm sure which ever radio company he uses will be helpful. 
This is a great group of people and I'll be we can get him going again. 

If you are going to coordinate Gordy keep us posted.

I have a good friend in New Orleans and he evacuated to Dallas. His wife is 
a neonatal ICU nurse and can't leave. Their house fine but they've been told the 
earliest they can go back is Sept 9. They are evacuating the hospitals to other 
areas as transportation is available. The generators are running out of fuel 
now. People are going to die. Lets keep them in our thoughts.

At least that damned subdivision that displaced our flying field in Slidell 
won't be in the way anymore... then again, that field may not be there 
anymore either :(
