Hijacking this thread for a minute. I've known Allen for nearly 25 years now and consider him a good friend.

 

I just talked to Allen on the phone. The picture of the house doesn't really look all that bad at first does it? Well look again, those cinder blocks you see in front; that's the foundation of the house! Water moved the house 30 feet off the foundation!

 

The storm surge was so bad it blew a hole through his barn.

 

Everything Allen could salvage out of his house didn't fill up the cab of his truck.

 

Allen's mother's house had 1-1/2 feet of water in it. The water washed out one corner of her house so the house had lowered on that corner. FEMA has told her she should just bulldoze it down.

 

Allen (nor his mom) didn't have flood insurance so all they have is whatever FEMA will do to help.

 

My friends, Allen has literately lost everything he owned. Let's please help him out anyway we can. If you don't see a book that you want, then send Allen a PM and donate some money to him if your able.

 

Thank you,

David

We were lucky, we had flooding, but our house didn't move...I'm donating 25% of any sales on my thread to Allan.

 

So sorry for the pain you are going through...

So I got a call from David and he let me know that something was going and there wasn't much I could do about it. I was pretty excited because I thought the thread was selling out! I never thought anything like this would be happening. I want to thank you all, it's very touching and much appreciated!

 

Payment for books can be made to thefurtheradvs@hotmail.com.

 

Thanks again, everybody.

I'd go back and edit your email address like this so it doesn't get spammed by the spam bots on the internet.

 

Good luck.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
