[SEL] Curt's Lorenz - A Black Day in International Shipments

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Dave and Arnie (and, Curt, too),

It is unfortunate indeed that such an accident would occur.  I do hope that 
both of you are not injured, or, if you are, Curt's homeowner's insurance will 
cover your medical expenses.

The remnants of the Lorenz may have some salvage value but in any case will 
need to be cleaned up.  I should like to offer my services in hauling away the 
debris so that you two don't have to be reminded of the tragedy as I know it 
hurts you to even think about it.

Regards,
Ron Carroll
