Thanks to all for entries. From them I have already learned good news about several dear friends: Eiden Salazar (of what used to be Jenny's Store across from Mervino's Hole in the Wall) and family; Angel Nunez (the High School Principal) and family; the Forman family at Coral Beach; and, by inference from David Marin, the rest of the Marin Family.

Several of you mentioned others whom I too am interested in knowing about. Particularly my old (young) employee buddy, Freddie Gonzalez and his father, Samuel.

Glad to know you Jay, I knew and admired Alan Foreman much and had lots of good times at his Tackle Box.

Eveyone kep coming with the good news.

Please ask Gach Guerrero from Amigo's Travel how is everyone doing? I've been in touch with a missionary in Belmopan and he has kept me informed during the whole ordeal. I received news from Ilda that the family is fine. I'm also wondering about my parents'home and their situation there? I know most of the people in San Pedro and most are my family. I want them to know we've been praying throughout. San Pedranos are very blessed and tough, they'll be back on their feet as soon as they can. Love, Deanna

looking for Christina and Patrick( he is a dive instructor) and there small babies. Thomas Sharp, Ian and Lourdes oh I can't think of how to spell their last name~ Salzidar or is it Salzilar~ can't remember, Ian is my families pastor. Also a seamstress and my mothers house manager ~ Elsa

Ian Saldivar & family are ok. As you can imagine, he has his hands full taking care of his family as well as working around the clock with BTL trying to restore communications. That was definitely one of the names that David Marin reported to me as our conversation only lasted about 25 mins.

I can't thank you enough! My husband was worried that Horace may have been on an overnight trip! If you get the chance, please tell them that Bob & Jill from Houston are ready to send ANYTHING they need. Thank you again for taking the time to respond!

To Lori: Freddie and Gutzi okay. Yippee! Tell Freddie thanks again for me - he'll know for what. Gutzi - tell him that I'm sorry I didn't recognize him right away the last time we spied each other, but remind him that he was a little slow himself.

I won't burden you with passing out messages - there would be daamn many.

But, please mention me to any San Pedrano you meet (above the age of thirty-five) and, in particular, to Fidel, Eiden, Freddie, Gutzi, Samuel, both Chicos, Wil (Fidolito, Maggie & Peseta Rivera, and .... I better quit before I hurt someone's feelings.

Viva San Pedro,
Mervino Key.

Will do when & if I get a chance to speak to them. Horace works with my brother Sylvin. They had been very busy with overnight trips but as the storm approached, they cancelled all dive trips and concentrated on trying to secure the boats on the back of the lagoon. The last I heard on Saturday was that my father fell overboard while taking his boat to the back of the lagoon and it wasn't until yesterday that I found out that he was alive and well, but his boat didn't make it. Not that the boat matters to me at all at this point, I was just glad to hear he was alive. I am sure that they are in that long line at BTL waiting to use the phone once to call me and tell me that everything's ok.
