    Dear Kathy,
    The tornado devastation in Manzanita is heartbreaking. How
    frightening it must have been to go through that not knowing
    what destruction awaited you. I hope that you and Tom have a
    warm safe place to be while these horrendous storms continue
    and that your home and gallery were not significantly damaged.
    We’ve had plans to drive over on October 24. I’ll be in touch later
    next week to see if there’s anything you need from Portland.
    Love,
    Carol and Bill
