My husband, who resigned from FEMA in January, is once again a volunteer for the American Red Cross. He had volunteered as a disaster volunteer for twelve years before he went to work for FEMA. He loves volunteering with Red Cross. He was not wild about working for FEMA.
He will be leaving tomorrow morning for Fargo, North Dakota, for three weeks. He is quite excited about going out on disasters again and it gives his life some real purpose which I think is good for him. He will be 79 in May.
I am delighted he wants to go. It certainly beats sitting in a chair most of the day reading.
When he comes home, our daughter's home should be finished. They didn't get quite all the floor in the great room finished but should have finished it today. They moved the carpet layers off to Friday just to be sure.
We will be getting up at 4:00 in the morning to get him to Tulsa by 6:00. His plane leaves at 7:00.

What a wonderful thing to do at his age.I'm sure he is needed there.Take care.
He's always loved doing those things. I hope he's up to it this time.
Just make sure he packs his long johns!
You bet! He called awhile ago and still has not found a room.
