Looking for missing Members after Katrina
i just today had someone in her town offer to go see how she is, if only we can find out any ijnfo, like real name & address, ANYTHINGH would help, even an email address or last name
please dmail me any helpful info...
tf
tf,
I looked back over her profile page for clues.
I could spot the yard if it looks now as then.....
heavy pine tree area , dog eared fence, gazebo..........
but otherwise..................
No trades to track makes it tough.
Wonder if Trish has any info?
Ric
Ric, i will ask Trish if need be. but, i also may have found her, if her name is really danika. i gave the phone number and address to NemantanthusNut who also lives in Mandeville
it was just an accident that i found her, as her parents posted a request for her to call, and they named her town "MandeRville"... luckily Danika is not as common as you might suppose...
i will give an update, [or Nuts will] when we know something. hopefully good news, but might need some new perennials HINT, HINT!!!
LOL!
GREAT Detective Work!
Ric
yeah, well, had to do something while waiting on our guineas to arrive. now they won't be here till morning :-(
lets keep this bumped up so nuts will se whwere to post the good news!!! soooo glad you started this thread...
ric, would you like to pick our next name to find?
zapdaigle sounds like a good place to start anew.
I've been working the a to c lines.
Ric
huh?
When Trish gave out the Dmail contact lists I got A-C.
For some reason I've been working alphabetically.
Zapdaigle is the last missing name in LA.
Ric
:-)
ok
haven't heard from NUTS, but behind on threads right now.
still working on apoe, but we have two hot leads...
will not be available to search for a day or two...
:-)
a well-meanin' lil BUMPEROO ... for obvious reasons.

I've not heard from any of the letters sent out.
Ric
bump again.
This may be naiive, but doesn't Dave have the real names and addresses? Can he help? Or does on-line security prohibit that?
Dave only has limited information, depending on how they paid for a subscription.
no, woodspirit, you are not naive. some people were contacted that way by Trish and Dave. Many have been found also throught the address exchange. if you are n't listed there, please ocnsider it. what darius siad is correct, and that is what has led to so many DGers un-accounted for. we certainly hope and pray that they are fine and just busy and/or relocated. if i had lost everything, my garden might be on the back burner for a while. but until we confirm each and every one of them, we honestly just don't know ;-(
How many have not checked in yet?
in the weather forum, there are "check in" threads for the various hurricanes. MarylynTX keeps them updated, and lists by state who hasn't checked in and who has. i have not been there to see lately, guess where i am headed...
actaully, the Katrina check in list is in the Hurricane Katrina forum. here are the recent stats from that thread...
"Alabama - 53 subscribers, 40 heard from - 76% checked in
Louisiana - 77 subscribers, 48 heard from - 63% checked in
Mississippi - 46 subscribers, 36 heard from - 78% checked in

i wish i knew how many of them are staying in a tent on these cold nights...
I guess another mass mailing may be in order.
Glad the 'old typers' are working better now tf!
Dave's is good rehab eh? lol
