Thanks so much to all of you who have responded with offers of help for Cheryl Clark. The ferret community has come through again! As things stand now Cheryl apparently has access to the FEMA funds and she intends to buy a car that will get her out here to Kansas City. She also has funds for gasoline, although Danee reminds me that fuel may be in short supply and difficult to get. )I wonder if cars will also be difficult to get.) To those of you who have offered to shelter her ferrets, she if strongly resisting being separated from them, as would the rest of us. So if we can keep the family together we do that. Cheryl is an interesting person who prefers action to feeling sorry for herself. She is a tall, older, woman who has frequently earned a living dealing Black Jack. She may be able to find work here, as she has in the past, at the casinos. One thing at a time. Again, thanks to all of you who are thinking of her, offering help, and wishing her well. If you have e-mailed me and I haven't replied directly I will soon. Bobbi McC. <+:-) [Posted in FML issue 4999]
