This reaches us from Bob Horn:
"I have been working with Steve Page in the collection of goods and organizing relief for Biloxi.
Steve needed to get another semi full of water, food, and other collected items to Biloxi for this week.
I called DaimlerChrysler, that I work for, and reqested the use of a semi. They not only are supplying the truck & tractor but they are also supplying the driver and fuel. The truck will be loaded at Page Racing on Monday, September 19, 2005 and will leave for Biloxi and surrounding areas on Tuesday."

We really didn't do much ...just what we could. But every little bit helps someone .
The 2 that were living under these tarps for the past 3 weeks were just told they cannot stay there any longer , we were dropping off a few supplies to them when the sheriff came by and told them to get out of town to a shelter 5 miles away. To say it was heartbreaking would be an understatement. No house , no car , no income , no where to go .......I have wondered how they are since I left. I am certain this scene is being played out over and over all along the coast.

I talked to Steve on Thursday while he was in the thick of it. At that time he was personelly bringing basic supplies to some "trapped" fire-fighters in a remote location outside of Waveland which suffered total devastation. He sounded stressed and in all likelihood some what traumatized. I think in helping these victims he has in a way become a victim himself. Prayers for him and if you know him, words of praise and encouragement are good medicine. Keep up the fantastic work bro but take care of your self.

I have just returned from my honeymoon and just want to say thank-you to my OSS family and members of my team and community who have been in Mississippi for the last three weeks with our transporter which is also being used as a trauma center.They have been supporting Christian Life Church from Orange Beach who along with our pastor have been there from the start.The manager of Live Bait cooked for 750 people three times a day.We know what its like dealing with a massive hurricane and Orange Beach is thankful for the opportunity to help our brothers in Mississippi.May God be with them all and those who are about to experience the wrath of Rita.
