Hello List,

I am sorry I have been out of contact with some of you who have written.

Let me just say my prayers are with the townspeople of West, Texas.  My
situation does not allow me to follow the news, but I just wanted to
let all those kind and concerned list members know that I heard from a
reliable friend of theirs that both Don and Mrs. Wanda and survived the
fertilizer explosions, which were from their business.  Don and Mrs.
Wanda are the head of the family and community leaders I described as
in a 2009 article regarding the Discovery of the Ash Creek bolide in
Meteorite Magazine:

"and whose destiny is now linked to our own, and that of the
big-hearted Texas family that gave us this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity, and the best beef dinner of our lives, twice! "

I hope the rest of the family and close friends are ok since casualties
are being reported in the press.  God be with West in the aftermath.
This too shall pass and leave it's imprint on the loyal and
hard-working community but farming is a very difficult business and I
just hope they and the rest of West can pick up the pieces after all
the actionable life and health emergency passes.

Kindest wishes
Doug
