Default Burned Out !

Pappy has been wondering why I haven't seen Rob Gratson ( Ohiopyle Rob) on the forum lately.

Well, today I found out !

Rob and his family were burned out and lost everything that they had EXCEPT EACH OTHER !!! Thank GOD that all the members of the family are alright.

Story may be seen at the following link.

ROB, It's GREAT that you and the family are alive !

Default Thanks

Pappy,

Thanks for putting up the link and thanks Pris for the kind words. It was a nightmare that I dont want to experiance ever again. We are still setting up in the new house and things are getting better "Slowly" I am sure that someday, the boy and I will get back out to start detecting again. I cant wait. But first we need new detectors.

Default Sorry for your loss but glad everyone is okay.

Ohiopyle_Rob

My wife and I want to let you know that we are sorry for your loss. We are glad everyone is okay though. We recently (well a little over a year ago) experienced the devastation that a fire brings and know first hand it is not something that we want to experience again either. I am glad everyone is safe. The materialistic items mostly can be replaced, but each other cannot be. Take care..
