At that time I wasn't thinking about what I was doing, but I was doing it as fast as I possibly could because so MUCH needed to be done.

In hindsight I think it would've been cool to document through photo's and notes the 2 weeks we worked out of the Cruiser. Friends would see us pull up in it and laugh, but not the ha ha laugh. I think it was mainly the "thank God they're here" laugh.

Maybe I'm off the mark here, but those are the kinds of stories I would like to read and see pictures of.

Point in saying it is that I guess sometimes we all may go through something that could be considered a "contribution" but we miss the opportunity to document it.
Now THAT would have made a great story!!
