So, A good friend's house burned down on Tybee. Dan Lockwood is a retired professor, an avid paddler having completed five Everglades Challenges and is one of us. He and his two boys are presently staying at my place. I have asked my paddling club to donate a $250 gift card to get his family some basics for the short term. On that note we have a very strong, resourceful group on Paddlewise. I would really like your ideas on how to get him going again. Red Cross comes to mind but I dont know how to get started. Back channel response might be best since this is off topic and I don't want to clutter the list. http://tinypic.com/r/2v14sr5/4 Here he is volunteering at the Tybee Surf Jam as the event timer. He is an eternally optimistic man who is temporarily overwhelmed. I would like to help keep him optimistic.
