Re: Hurricane Katrina Rescue Efforts
From: Debbie

We arrived in Dinnwittie, Virgina at 12am last night for a long needed rest. The outpouring of public support has been very encouraging. Just as Diane reported, people are waving and cheering us on as we make our way south.

The employees at the hotel we stayed at were very also supportive and even wanted to go with us to help rescue the animals. We have a long day of travel ahead. We have been back on the road since 7am and hope to make our destination of Tuscaloosa, Alabama by nightfall.
