Hey everyone,

Sorry that I'm not writing much from here in Biloxi, but it's already been a 13 hour day and we're still working. Anyway, I wanted to share this link from a local newscast about what we're doing down here. Please hold your comments on how much of a dork I am on TV.

Dave,

You guys look great! What a really nice coverage you got. I know that you don't have time for answering a lot of questions right now, but I guess I was surprised that it looks like you are working with the pictures on the floor? It was pretty touching at the end when the one lady said: "Thank you for caring!"  I love it!

Hi Margie,

I'll submit some pictures of our copy stand setup, but the way we have it, the volunteer can sit in a chair and do photos much quicker than standing and leaning over a camera.

Hi Chris,

This came in the nick of time before my husband built a copy stand that wouldn't work or worse yet tip over. Does anyone use a tripod? Look forward to your pictures.

Thanks,

Margie

That was a great story, so touching to see the people happy that they may get theor photos restored.
Dave, you looked great but where was Glenna? You should have got your face in there somewhere Glenna. Smiley

That was great coverage you got, you will probably be swamped tomorrow after that has aired, there may be other people who until then did not know about OPR or you being in Biloxi.

Keep up the good work folks, wish I could be with you.

I loved it!!! After every trip, Dave always says that meeting with the families is the best part of OPR, getting to see a story like this shows us why. Thanking all of us for caring--doesn't that just warm your heart to no end! We all put so much of ourselves into OPR, it is great to see and remember why...

Thanks for caring everyone!!!

I have a macpro (with windows) and downloaded the Windows media player for macs. Nothing happens. Does the player open automatically when I click a .wmv or do I need to open the app or whuuuuuuuuut?

Glenna IS in the video, but very briefly.

Not sure how to answer your question Kiska.

When you click on that link it should automatically (or it does on XP anyway) open the player window.    What happens when you click on it?
