<DIV>Mark,</DIV>
<DIV> My family and I are okay and I talked with Buddy today, he is in
Austin and his family is okay too. Glad you and yours made it through
okay. I am at my daughters house in Houston, got here today. Stayed
at my camp during the storm, but no power or water there now, so we came
here. I am going back to DuPont in the AM and helping them in their
assessment of damages and try to retore power. At least maybe I will be
able to get to my house and see what damages I have there as I will only be
about 5 miles away when I get to the plant. Thanks for caring, hope all of
our Pattern buddies and family made it okay. If I hear anything from Ray,
Perry, , Mike, etc. I will let you know, please do the same, Later,
Larry...</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
