Dave let me know that he has located the set of heads that he had been working on for me, and that they were good.

I cannot begin to imagine the stresses they are under, but they are (literally) digging out.

That good news for you. I have not heard anything on my heads yet but like you said they are digging through rubble. I did reached out, just sending prayers to them.. I figure Dave would reach out to me.

It's the beginning of snow in the Northern regions. It's already in the National parks in upper Idaho, I think.

There is a scramble this time of year, a million things to get prepared.

And, sadly, until a lawsuit plays out, his hands are pretty tied. Provided he doesn't get hosed, it could be a long hard battle to get a settlement that is 100% ,on the charter owner. The school district was very evasive when I tried to reach someone., just to get a accident report that should be public. Tells me, no one wants to step up and act with integrity.

I would guee this is a very long situation before he can be in a business operation.

Floods, fires, they just suck so so much.

I totally understand all of this. I just thought he would reach back out to me with something.

I will say that any of you who had aluminum heads at his shop are at a loss. This is going to be a long process for Dave and the company who owned the bus.
