Winds in excess of 160 mph- storm started in OK and moved Eastward, gathering force- Glad to hear the Southern shoot will still go forward, I am not going to be able to attend (and enjoy the fine hospitality and a "meet and greet" with my friend from the neighboring Palmetto State, George Lander.
I cannot, of course, speak for Bill K. and the Deep River Gun Club, but inasmuch as our John Dunkle has founded and funded RennWish, to help the ravaged peoples of Haiti- perhaps the PGCA will again take the "point position" here and see if any funds can be raised to help local agencies in both NC and neighboring VA. Many of us are lucky indeed, but some know the brush with fate, and not just from combat-that somehow spares us, but touches our neighbors or fellow man- Sort of a 'spin" on the phrase: "There but for the grace of God--etc--"
I know this personally, as I had hoped to meet Col. Bruce Day last June (2010) at the Yooper Fest- but he called and mentioned some serious damage to his house- roof and tree limbs, power out- so of course, had to stay back home and restore things to somewhat normal.
I wish everybody in the PGCA a safe trip- both ways-!!
