Hi Mike,
All is not in vain. It was partly your message that prompted me and my wife to join a group from our church in Ct that will be going to Gulfport, MS in May. It will be the third trip for some of the group but the first for Judy and me. Can't say I'm looking forward to living "commune" style for a week but it certainly won't kill me.

>A couple of weeks ago, in a moment of wild optimism, I floated the idea of a UT relief mission to the Gulf Coast. There was exactly one volunteer, Dan LeClair (thanks, Dan), so I am officially letting that idea go. What I wanted to say before leaving it behind completely is please have an open mind the next time catastrophe strikes. The week I spent in Houston was exhausting but unbelievably rewarding to me. It's not an exaggeration to say it changed my outlook on life.
