Re: Prayers needed for a safe return
Here's the latest from my SIL. I apologize for copying her email but I didn't know how to condense the info.
I have another update since yesterday. I did manage to talk to Graham 2

Re: Prayers needed for a safe return
We just received an email from Graham. He's safely ensconced in an apartment near the airport waiting for evacuation. No plans yet but hopefully soon. He is a delightful person. Through all this his only complaint is that they don't have ice cream for dessert. He's such an upbeat guy.

I'll keep them all in my prayers.
