hey everyone anything new?
You know as much as we do.
hey everyone anything new?
Hi all, I have learned so much the last three days. My opinion of small towns and rural areas has taken a nosedive while my opinion of humanity in general has soared.
The area around McCleary is some of the most beautiful countryside I've seen. Groves of swordtail ferns situated under moss draped trees. Just beautiful and yet at every turn people have dumped their garbage. Everywhere. Twenty miles back a dirt road. And I had to go through it. I'm sorry, I don't buy the high cost of garbage collection and drop off as an excuse. And the small town of McCleary needed to turn out big time for this event. Isn't that what small towns are all about? They didn't.
Which brings me to my elevated opinion of humanity. People did show up. All kinds of people. People who just heard about it in the news. The old, the young, the rich, the poor. From the larger metropolitan areas for the most part. Good people every one. I am warmed by their show of support.
One small clarification. I have met some extremely nice people from McCleary too.
I haven't had much computer time in the last couple days. Whatever time I did have, I spent trying to catch up on Jaycee.
I don't post a whole lot on here, but I am always reading.
I did want to say how much everyone rocks for coming together to spend the weekend volunteering!!
Happy belated birthday, Jennifer.
Jen... I haven't been in for a while but I try to stop by often. I miss all of you guys
While it is rare in Grays Harbor, it has happened before. In 1974, 7 year old Jeffrey Bratcher disappeared while on a family outing at Ocean City State Park, and in 1982, 3 year old Tyler Inman disappeared from his residence during a rain storm. Neither has ever been found.
I'm sure we do. I worked at GHSO from 1977 to 2007.I
Wow I never heard of those cases, both probably GHSO. The first before I started, the other while I took a long break in Calif.......
coldcaseman, bet we worked together several times....or at least know each other...
