[Dialogue] Bob True, how are you & other NY-NJ colleagues?

[Gwensinger]

I would recommend making donations to The American Red Cross.  There are some areas in NYC that are just overwhelmed with donations of clothes. 

If one still wanted to donate, one could do a Sandy web search.  I know that blankets, diapers, baby formula and basic toiletries were appreciated.

Of course, gasoline is what everyone is running out of! 

Thanks for your heartful support.

Ann

Your message brought tears, Bob. If we want to send a donation for Sandy relief, where do you think it would do the most good.
 
Grateful you're safe,

It has   been quite a journey over the past week.  Lynn , Nelson, and I are fine –   enduring our relatively minor hardships compared to many others. When I am   asked where I live I reply, “on the Hudson River”. At the beginning of the   week I would have had to reply, “in the Hudson river.” 

The city and   our office has been shut down. Many of  my staff including my partner,   have had to endure prolonged power outages, home damage,  and isolation ,   that still persist at this point. Fortunately none of us has suffered any   injuries. Everywhere I go I am struck by the randomness of who and what is   sparred vs destroyed. 

The finest human bonding moments for me have   been standing in the line with my gas can and visiting with my fellow   survivors, endurers, and mutualists.

We have seen many examples of   intelligence, respect, and practical concern  and action on the part of   individuals and government officials from both parties in response to the   crisis.

Sandy has taught us to appreciate so much that we take for   granted  and on the other hand our capacity as human beings to make do   and help one another.

Thanks for thinking of us.
Best   Regards,
Bob
