[SEL] Rita

[kgw]

I know we have our southern LA-TX contingent, most of whom are scattered 
around at the moment, for obvious reasons.  My little bro works for 
Petroleum Helicopters out of their Morgan City, LA Base. In fact, he 
worked for Dick Gibbens, before Dick retired.  For Katrina, they pulled 
back to  Lake Charles.  However, for Rita, the corporate powers-that-are 
are having those on duty and a bunch of aircraft stay right there at 
MCY---if you have been listening to the news, Morgan City is right on 
the projected eastern delineation between hurricane & Tropical storm.  I 
just talked with John, and he said things were pretty calm, though the 
power had gone out an hour or so ago.

Anyway, he's got me pacing the floor---I am probably more concerned 
about it all than he is!
