Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Doc, I'm happy to hear y'all are doing fine. I live in Pensacola which appears to be the safest place in the state this month. lol I see that you are going to Punta Gorda. Do you have any idea as to how I can find out if my cousin is ok? Nobody in my family, including his sisters & brother, have heard from him since the hurricane. I realize that it might be nothing but until I know for sure, I just can't rest easy. Thank you for your time.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Dear Deborah, If you send me their address in a private email, I'll try to look in on them for you when I'm down there. Phone lines are down all over the place and power is still off. It could be a month before certain areas are fully back on the grid. I'm sure they'd love to have a chance to let the rest of their family know they're all OK. :-) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.727-738-0554DocShillington - Deborah herbal remedies Wednesday, August 18, 2004 2:32 PM Re: Herbal Remedies - Hurricane Warning Doc,I'm happy to hear y'all are doing fine.
