Many of us mudcatters know the name Night Owl. Anybody notice she has been missing from out threads lately? There is good reason.....

This summer I had the privilage of spending just over a week with night owl in Vancouver, BC (due to holiday screwups she came out to visit me!) About 2 days after she left on her holidays her house in Cape Cod was hit by lightning. The fire damage was severe. Under her daughter's instructions, she continued her holiday while her daughter dealt with the 'mess' that was left behind. (this was late july/early Aug.) Since being home mid Aug. she has been dealing with the aftermath and going through the house to find some important treasure intact. We have had many conversations by phone during the past months and she is definitely having a time dealing with the reality that has been presented her.

Because we are such a supportive group of each other, I am going out on a limb here to suggest that we might get messages to her of our support. She currently does not have a computer and so is missing out on all the mudcat goodies (what's mudcat radio? she asks). SHe is not able to get her own email or read mudcat threads. I will suggest this however...... I have her daughters email and will post it here. We could send the messages to her and then they could get passed on ...... I will email her daughter to warn her....

Night Owl's daughter's email is:

As I have found out, and many others, we support our own. Let's let Night Owl know that we miss her, and if I get heck for it..... tough. It's the thought that counts, right!
