Thank you all so very much for your thoughts and prayers.

After another very long day on the computer and satellite phone, we finally got our son on a small commuter flight out of Santiago. He is now in Montevideo, Uruguay for two days of meetings. Hopefully, he will be home on Wed.

He told us that when the earthquake hit, he thought (in a dream state) that his toddlers were jumping on his bed. After he finally fully awoke, he thought he had a bit too much wine tasting.....when he was literally thrown from his bed, he knew it was an earthquake.

He said that the government in Chile is doing a rather remarkable job handling this disaster. It is probably the best and most progressive country in South America.

One very sad note.....one of the wood production mills we have been dealing with (they were situated right on the coast) is gone. Their sawmill was only 50 yards from the beach.

Thankis again for caring.
