I just got and e-mail from Miranda. They lost everything in a fire 3:00
AM, Wednesday. The escaped the fire with what they could grab on the way
out. Monroe has a 3rd degree burn on his back. Miranda's office was
destroyed, too.

They will probably have limited e-mail and usenet access until they get
some permanent shelter. The Red Cross is assisting them, but the RC is
stretched pretty thin right now. Is anyone physically close enough to
help them out?

OH MY GOD! That's terrible! Next time you talk to them, please give them
my best regards. I wish I could do something.

Geess that sucks.

I'm sorry to hear that and wish them the best recovery. Hopefully
Monroe's burn isn't too serious.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

I'm outside of the distance where I could provide immediate help
(Poughkeepsie, New York). Do you know if there's anyone setting up a
charity fund for them?

Feeling equally helpless, I told 'em to come and stay at my house for as
long as they want. I'm stunned with sadness.

I don't know, and I don't know how to find out. Hopefully someone here
knows them in real life and can ferret out that information for us.

This is terrible news.

Who on the list in the NC area?

Perhaps someone nearby could set up a paypal account for them for
folks to send $$ to?

I didn't realize they were so close. I'm in Durham, which is right down the
street. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

Maybe we could have a fundraising barbeque for them?
