Quick Emergency Loop

Just received the following email from Pam & Jon Kirkwood - BIG THANKS in advance if you can help.

Please remember to keep in prayer those who are at risk with these dangerous fires here in California. And if you'd like to be included in The Loop and receive the Kirkwood's monthly update, please email Pam at pamkirkwood@yahoo.com.

Loopers...

This will just be a quick message and we promise we will not take up much of your time... As you know, we are experiencing very strong winds here much of Southern California (especially the San Fernando Valley) and there are many fires raging out of control... We received a message just now from our classmate John Brennan '64 and his wife Kim... They live in the Little Tujunga area and are ok, but their good friends, who live in a mobile home park in Lake View Terrace didn't fair so well... Please read Kim's email and if you can help...great... She has included all of the contact information and here is John and Kim's email address as well melloworks@aol.com

This morning very good friends of ours and their children lost everything but the pj's on their backs in the fire that took over their mobile home park in Lake View Terrace. We are asking for your help in any donations that you might be able to make. Clothes are desperately needed. Sergio wears a 2X shir t, 40w 32h pants and 10 1/2 shoe, Angela wears large tops, 11-13 pants and 6 shoes, Samatha who is 12 years old wears a large shirt, 7 pants and 7 shoes and little Gennaro is in 5 toddler, 10 shoes. Please contact Kim Brennan @ 818/272-7612 or drop off @ Avignones Bar 2321 Honolulu Ave. Montrose, Ca. 818/249-5471 Thanks for all your support.
Kim Brennan

Also, we received this message from Gerry Altman '64 this morning... Please keep Gerry and Jeff Altman '68, their dear Dad and their entire family in your prayers...

Pam, I do not normally do this but I wanted to tell my friends that knew my Dad Leonard Altman, 94 years old, that he is gravely ill, and near death. Many people knew my father and I wanted to post this. When something does finally happen, I will let you know. Keep us in your prayers as this is a very difficult time for my brother and myself, as well as my family. He is in Hospice Care at my brother's home. Take care and all the best to you and Jon.
Gerry Altman.
