I just got off the phone with Danny Harriman. Danny arrived home yesterday and he and his family are doing okay. He did say that he had some more storms coming through. Danny told me that because of the devastation, it is nearly impossible to contact anyone in the Joplin area.
Joplin is hurtin'
Serveral of my friends were effected by this horrendous act of nature and more turbulent weather is on the way. I'm thankful that all those I know are still alive today, but nobody will be the same afterwards. If any of you know Patrick Brown, Jarrid Easton, Jerry Reardon, James Meek, etc...basically all the pool playin' population in that town is going to be hurting either directly or indirectly due to the devestation of these deadly tornados. 89 have been confirmed dead at the current time, but that number will rise as rescue workers discover more in the coming days most certainly. Pray for all of this cities inhabitants folks, as life for most will never be the same.
Patrick's wife's place of employment was destroyed and he's gonna be hurting of course due to the lack of income, but he's also got four of his friends who've lost their houses as well and is accepting donations for all of them if anyone wants to help out their fellow man. He is a man of absolute honor and integrity so please don't even think it's a scam or BS in anyway. He's also one of the best "action" guys in Joplin and is great for the game so I hope some of you who read this will join me in helping out anyway you can. Please don't abuse it, but his phone number is: (913)731-7100. Thanks for your time and I hope he gets the help he needs for himself and those he cares for as I'm sure we all want the same for all who have been and will be touched by this tragedy.

I am shocked. I watched what was on MSN News.
I can't believe it. The tornado was estimated at being 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile wide. Theres nothing left.

I'm in Springfield (75 miles slightly NE of Joplin) and we are fine. The storm that devastated Joplin went by a few miles south of us. Jim Barclay, an excellent cue maker who lives in the Joplin area, hasn't reported in so if anyone knows his whereabouts, post it up.
Andy and Vicky Gilbert, who live a few miles South of me are fine, although they would have gotten a lot of wind and rain.
Thanks for asking about us.

this spring has been brutal. I do not remember another spring as violent as this one.
I hope this is wrong but K.M.O.V. [OUR CBS affiliate in st.louis] is reporting on there website, 120 dead and 1,500 missing. That's a huge number and you have to pray they start finding some of these people.
Andy and Vicky
Hey Mike, Andy and Vicky Gilbert were still out in Vegas until Monday. The BCA League Championships were goin' on. Like you, I haven't heard anything on Jim Barclay, but I'll post it if and when I do. Sherrie Mason, Dennis' Place manager, is accepting donations of goods that she will arrange to have delivered to the Joplin relief efforts sometime this week or next whenever they allow it. She also has a friend of hers that owns a piece of property that can store what will be needed when the families start to rebuild their homes, i.e. furniture items and such. I talked to her last night and she's trying to get a few trucking companies to volunteer to perform pick ups of larger items as well as trucking all the donations down to the disaster area when allowed. If everyone does just a bit Joplin can be rebuilt physically, but the lasting emotional and mental pain will be forever regardless. So many families lost entirely or broken apart due to a member perishing...too much to even fathom in it's magnitude man.
