Thanks for the caring words. All GHC homes and families are fine. I am still checking in with some of our host people and partners to make sure all is well with them too. Some of the phone and power lines are still down and several area school systems are closed today. Our thoughts go out to our neighbors in Alabama and Mississippi too.

Thanks so much for checking on us. Columbus was extremely lucky for most part and we are so glad that Amory was likewise spared. Like many others, I'm waiting word on several relatives and friends in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Al hard hit areas. I'm sure every one in our New Harmonies family knows someone affected by this widespread tragedy. I pray that we all have reassuring news from friends and loved ones today. --- On Thu, 4/28/11, David Morgan <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: David Morgan <[log in to unmask]> Subject: RE: Are you OK?

They are OK, but the town of Smithville (pop. 800), just northeast of them was all but blown off the map, including numerous fatalities. Columbus, also in the general vicinity, reports in OK. Thanks for checking. Keep us/them in your prayers. David From: Harsh, Carol [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:33 AM To: David Morgan Subject: Are you OK?
