Karen's Van

By -

Someplace in this mess is Karen's van. This was supposed to be a country music concert that spanned two days. They made announcements later in the day about the rising water, but it was too late for the kids and many others.
Josh moved the van several times trying to get it as high as possible. He looked at this picture and says the van is in the center of the "pond" on what appears to be some visible green. Hopefully the water never reached much higher than the tires. Can't even get near it until 24 June. For more pictures:

Sophia's Surgical Narrative

Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

Our good friend, Dr. J. Morgan Sweeney, passed away while teaching in London on Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Morgan -- an Irishman by clan, an Englishman by education, and a Gotham resident during his youth (his father was employed at the United Nations ) -- returned to the United States after completing his Ph.D at Oxford , and took a job with the History Department of Michigan State in 1976. Morgan wrote and lectured on modern European history, especially British, was active teaching in MSU's Study Abroad program in London , and was especially valued and loved by former students. Click for the obituary. Not having Morgan as an instructor during my time at MSU, I was introduced to him by our mutual friend, Drew Beiter, a former student. With Drew sequestered off working in California or Wyoming or the greater Buffalo area, and me living here in Williamston or Grand Ledge, I was able to more fully develop my own relationship with Morgan. More recently, Morgan was our infreque
