Mt St Helens 30th Anniversary

Last week was the 30th Anniversary of the Mt St Helens eruption. I was in Augusta, Georgia for the week attending a conference so I missed it. The link below goes to a Columbian newspaper story that was done about me and the search and rescue effort on the 25th anniversary. The Columbian re-published the story for their anniversary celebration.

Tomorrow many of the old timers from Lewis County are getting together for lunch to remember the eruption. Many of these people I haven't seen since the 25th anniversary so it will be interesting to see how we are all doing.

HOly cow, a new post! Let me take a moment to recover from the shock!

That's cool that the old timers still get together to commemorate the event.

I was going to comment a couple of weeks ago that if you wait long enough your post would be current, Merry Christmas 2010! I remember hearing about you and the search and rescue efforts after the eruption. I was living in Chicago and a day or so later I had a fine layer of ash on my car.
