I was thinking today about how Eric Erickson was so instrumental in guiding us through our trials during the big fire two years ago. With grace, ability and a rock solid cool head he tirelessly and unselfishly constructed a web of safety and direction for the fifty of us who chose to stay behind after the mandatory evacuation was put in place. With the loss of Montgomery and now Eric, we should all be concerned with the safety and leadership factor when the next inevitable disaster strikes.

As for the way Kathleen was treated: shame on those who could not see the forest for the trees. As for Daniel: he is a good friend and should have been treated better than than being fired on his birthday, just days after he had returned to our so called community after sitting through his brothers passing. Shame on the powers that be.
