That same day, by some means, contractors workers (house builders) were given off to help people clean out their homes and place debris at the curbs. Then on Saturday trucks appeared with other equipment with cherry pickers picking up all the trash and hauling it away. No one would accept anything from anyone except thanks.
The next week those homeowners with severe damages were given the option of rebuilding their homes or they could turn them over for a full refund of purchase price.
There were many people who helped in many capacities.
That's what cemented my view that this was the place to live.

Does anyone think that caring gesture would happen today? The Morse family today are not anything like Gary Morse.
