Hey Folks, hope all is well in your lives.
I was wondering if any of you all have been in contact with one of our classmates, Mary(Benton) Shaw? She lived north of Biloxi-Gulfport. I had emailed her last Sunday, 8/28,and then the hurricane hit. Let's hope she had already battened the hatches and fled. Just thought I would ask. I am really glad that I have 1300 feet between me and sea level.
Take Care My Friends.

I have been trying to reach her since it struck with no success. We talked the afternoon before it hit, with strict instructions to her to call me or email ASAP after it struck. So far- nothing. I have someone that I know that
lives about 50 miles from them that was going to try to get word. She was acquainted with Mary also through the dogs. The person that I know that said that some local phone calls would go through when long distance would not.
Again, so far nothing.

From what I can tell from Mapquest, Mary lives about 30 miles from the coast right between Biloxi and New Orleans. She had told me she was about a 40 minutes (or mile - I forget) drive from Biloxi as we were supposed to have gone to dog shows in Biloxi this weekend and were considering staying with her.

They were planning on riding it out as they had horses and cattle - and Tim, her husband's parents had farm animals also.

I will let you know if and when I hear something. The person that I know and has internet service says that she really can't go check on her right now due to the gas situation being in very, very limited supply, limited to 5
gallons at a time - if you can get it.
