Place: LV, TX Comments: So glad to hear Virginia & her husband are OK. Many thanks James, SNL & all you other 'prayer bears'.
Place: 67er Comments: Wonderful news Sandy & James !
Place: Richardson Comments: By hook or by crook, us 66ers don't give up! James Young has made contact w/Virginia's hsbd & he sd they had moved from the address we had. They live abt 6 miles from the path of the tornado. Both she & her hsbd are OK & so is their home!! Great News!! THANK YOU James!
Place: NYC Comments: Sandy, thank you so much for calling her brother. I am so relieved!!
Place: Richardson Comments: I cld Larry Macon, Virginia's bro in San Antonio, & t/w his secy, Rosie. When I told her who I was she sd Larry has been gng crazy trying to reach his sis. Rosie posted notes all over FB & yesterday evening she got a hit. Someone responded saying they saw her & she is alive! Other than that they have no info. Virginia was a teacher at the sch that was hit so badly & they were having graduation exercises there that afternoon. The good news is that Virginia is alive! Other than that, we have no info. Rosie sad I cd ck bk with her & she'd let me know if Virginia has been able to contact Larry.
Place: Richardson Comments: I was very upset when I ckd Google & then compared it with the map in the DMN. Most in the southern part of Joplin, where it hit, are without electricity, pho, water & a home . . . I don't know what else to do.
Place: FW Comments: SNL, I sent Virginia a message yesterday via Facebook, but have not received an answer.
Place: Richardson Comments: I looked up Virginia Macon's add on Google. I'm sorry to say her add (the one she was living at for our 40th) is in the direct path of the Joplin Tornado. There's a map on the front pg of DMN tda showing path of tornado & her address in is btwn 32nd & 20th streets a little west of Range Line Rd. Her invitation hasn't returned so I think she is at the same address. God help the people in Joplin & pray Virginia is OK. If anyone has her cell # please let me know! All I have is her home # & it won't go thru!
Place: Bosque County, Texas Comments: Toni, Jimmie is working on it! He could identify some - but not all. We are looking for old pics he may have and may have names on them!! Prayers going up for all those in MO. We certainly don't want bad weather - but honestly - we need rain so badly here. All the weather patterns seem to split and either go south or north of us and we get nothing. For those of you who mow - we have mowed 1 time this whole spring!! One more thing - sent my reunion stuff in yesterday with Badges & had to put more than one stamp on it!! Soooo - if you don't live in Dallas - check before you send!
Place: 66 Wisconsin Comments: Mr. Lincoln & Mr. Hawkins...HD TV, PD TV, KD TV...I have no idea what you guys are talking about...I can't run my Android phone...what is an Android anyway?
Place: LV, TX Comments: Jack - We replaced 2 older TVs with medium size High Definition (HD) models. We wanted a larger screen for the living room, but that required replacing the wall unit to accommodate it & that would've doubled the cost. However, we can zoom or stretch the screen image if needed & the picture quality is excellent. They're both Wi-Fi internet-ready, so we can play Netflix movies on-demand & record programs with a DirecTV HD DVR that permits stop-action in one room & resuming in the other. I'm now trying to reprogram the remotes to control the multiple items - case pends. Praying that we hear something from Virginia soon and that the news is she's safe.
Place: Richardson Comments: I don't know anything about Joplin Mo, so I don't know what part of the town Virginia Macon lives. I do know that 3/4 of the town is destroyed by the tornado yesterday evening. I called Virginia's home # this afternoon & tonight & all I got was a recording saying "Due to the emergency situation no pho calls can be completed at this time". I'll try again tmo. Let's pray she's still alive & she still has a home.
Place: Richardson Comments: Oh Jim you are right. She does live in Joplin!!! She came to our last reunion. I've been reading in the paper about the devastation & saw much of it on the noon news. It reminded me of when the tornado hit Jerrell just N of Austin. Let's pray she is alright!
Place: Carthage, TX Comments: Has anyone been in contact with Virginia Macon ? Doesn't she live in or around Joplin, MO. ??
Place: 66erville Comments: Toni, Bruce called at a great time. You don't know how much we appreciated his offer to help. Had the Tillery's not been on the way up from Houston with 3 days of help, I would have taken him up on the offer. My experience has been when putting down flooring, more than two people is not useful. Know that if I need a hand I'll be sure to call. |
