Well, we finished taking out everything we are planning to keep after last weeks fire. My chip collection of everything non-illegal was safe and sound. When I decided to focus on illegals, all the Nevada, AC, riverboat, Indian and so on were being stored in a closet - they were all fine. The only real casualties so far have been some of the illegals I bought (or traded for) at convention. Once an inventory has been done, I'll start searching for these pieces.

I want to thank everyone again for their kindness. Its great to be apart of a group of such close friends and well-wishers.

Thanks for Niki, Danielle and myself.
