Our earlier post
Prayers go out to those in Tornado country. We are saddened to report that that the sister and niece of the ISC’s Robert Gray were among the victims in Alabama. Robert is the secretary to the ISC and serves as Assistant Chairman of the Hall of Fame committee, and often described as the nicest person in the game. We will pass along information on the memorial service when it becomes available. Cards and letters of condolence can be sent to Robert Gray, 2843 Trotters Trail, Wetumpka, AL 36093.
Our prayers go out to those affected by the tornados. These things went right over our house here in Blountville, TN as well. Five “super cells”!! Never experienced something like this before, having lived in SoCal for all but the last 2 1/2 years. Several of them touched down within a mile of our place and did a lot of damage. There were lives lost less than 20 minutes from my home.
