Our Thoughts are With the Tornado Victims
We want to extend our thoughts and prayers to all the families who are touched by the volume of tornado activity that is currently spreading across the mid-south and midwestern United States. And to those who lost family members, our sympathies go out to you. The damages that are seen on tv don’t come close to giving the whole picture. Those of us who are far away can only imagine how this is affecting so many people who no longer have homes or who are forced to leave their homes. Fellow Scot sailors, please keep all these folks in your thoughts. Thank you. Read more
