Stan!!
Some of us did not know to worry about you, but the relief that you are okay is huge after
reading your email, with all the images of destruction we have been seeing putting your
account in relief. Bless that laundry room for keeping you safe and Kathy and Craig for
getting you safe passage off the island. I listened to a woman talking about the USVI
yesterday on the radio who reminded the listeners that these are fellow Americans as much
as our fellow Texans and Floridians, but not much help seems to be getting to them. So
thanks for the link. And put out the word please if you learn of other ways we can pitch
in. So glad you are safely home. And at some point, I hope you will write an account of
the whole experience, tree frog songs and all.
Love,
Maggie

Subject: Re: [Winedale-l] Tonight
Hello All,
I have just returned from the tempest that was Irma. Eri Weinstein and I weathered Irma
on St. John hunkered down in a laundry room in the dark for about eight hours. I was one
of the fortunate, blessed, comfortable ones with a roof still over my head when the songs
of the tree frog’s signaled the end of the storm. Their song’s belied the devastation.
Thanks to the efforts of Kathy Blackbird and Craig Hurwitz, we were was finally able to
leave St John by fishing boat to St. Croix after about a week. After experiencing and
witnessing the devastation, I am compelled to help as much as I can from the safety of
Austin, until I can get back to the Island.
I am writing to ask for donations for those still left on the Island. If any of you have
any money left to be donated after all of the donations I am sure you have given to
Harvey’s victims, please make your donations the St John Community Foundation
donate<http://www.thestjohnfoundation.org/donate>
http://www.thestjohnfoundation.org/donate They have been working with St. John for
years. Even a small amount will help someone to water, food, or bedding.
Thank you. Love and Hugs.
