| 10th September 2008 Judy Stringer | wanting to help - From: In the Middle of a Hurricane Had a great vacation at Manta House. Have heard most of the people we met got off or are safe. What can we do to help directly - so funds don't get shifted to other areas than Grand Turk? When restructuring plans are finalized post a local fund so fans of the Island can direct help to the specific needs of the Island. |

| 10th September 2008 Pat | Palm Grove - From: In the Middle of a Hurricane Hi, I used to live in the pink house across the street from Palm Grove (next to the sea -- Mitchell & Catherine may own it now) and saw the picture of the Palm Grove house.

I have family and friends there an I'm very much so worry about that... I got a Call from my Aunt in Provo, Her restaurant is Flooded out and her daughter lost her house. Her son Dave lost his Workshop and home in Grand Turk. I have lived on Grand Turk for 6 years and Never went through such a disaster. Just the oder day I was speaking to a Friend and she to lived there for years and this had never happened.

| 9th September 2008 kselver | Oh my god! - From: Grand Turk Needs help after Hurricane Ike This looks nothing like the island I grew up on. The place is completely devastated! We need a miracle... |
| 7th September 2008 Rozuki | Hey JP.... - From: In the Middle of a Hurricane I stumbled across your blog while I was searching for info on how bad Hurricane Ike hit GT....Stu and I went diving with you last couple of times we were there...Stu is going to call Mitch later today (it's Sunday 9/7) to find what is going on down there. He is in Chicago right now at a training class and I am here on LI dealing with the aftermath of Hannah which hit us yesterday with 4-5 inches of rain. Did you all (Jenny, Loren, Monica, Mitch, Tonya, Kat, Conky and everyone else!) evacuate the island? How bad is it? Premier Misick is being quoted as saying 80% of the houses are destroyed or damaged??? |

| 15th July 2007 Justin | Hey DH - From: Temples of Chiang Mai and the Zoo. Hey it was good to see you on your visit. Would have been better if you stayed away from Patong. Married now. You will grow up in a few years, have fun now and remember the good times when that day comes. Well as for learning about the Monks and the Budist religion, Go to freaking University and take a world religion class. Get your education dude, you will need it at some point in your life. Good luck on your travels and your business hopes. Justin Brey |
