Well john thanks for the thoughts...you should look at the comments on this
list as just a list user and not a apparent good friend of david's.  I feel
bad for him, but my local police said that is why I did not get robbed.  Now
saying that why was this brought on this list to begin with??? Was it for us
to help him, feel bad for him, or???  You wrote quite a long response for my
comment but I see you carred on a conversation with chris...hummmmm
Now, my question is feeling sad again for david.  I know how it feels for 11
years ago I lost my home to a fire and everything yes even my high school
and colleage letter jackets that can not be replaced.  Did david have
insurance?  If so then file a clame and if not then he should have had for
times like this.
