Lightning.

I am very sure of the validity of the lightning strikes and subsequent complete anilation of those seven homes. We are evaluating contractors right now to install lightning rods. I wish the better, copper ones, didn't cost so much more. I don't think we will ever get struck, but I know an effective lightning rod system and protectors from secondary lighting damage to the appliances and systems will make us sleep soundly.

I was greatly impressed with your knowledge of lightning and most of all of your unselfish time volunteered to share your information without gaining anything in return but satisfaction.

You and your partner and the presentation you gave was truly a help to all of us there.

You make this wonderful town of ours even better.

Many thanks.

Gracie
