Haiti Earthquake

[Brat Jr]

Please add your good thoughts and prayers to the people of Haiti. 

MANY lives have been lost there and possibly many more to come.

A friend of mine told me about a Bellarmine graduate ( Molly Hightower )that is still missing, possibly among the rubble of what was a 7 story building ( now sits at 2 )

This is sad when these things hit real close to home.  I believe the young Hightower girl from Gig Harbor is my old coaches granddaughter..  The entire episode is sad and I will definately give up prayers for peace and comfort in that country.
