From Prof. Verchik

I'm Rob Verchick on the Loyola Law faculty. My wife, Heidi Molbak, and our three boys are safe and sound in Houston. It's devastating seeing the news on the television, although folks in Houston are doing their best to make us feel welcome--Six Flags is letting Louisana families in for free, which my kids appreciate. In addition to issues related to our house, we are wondering what the near term schedules of our kids' schools will look like. It's so important for kids to have regular schedules, particularly in times of stress.

One bit of perhaps obvious advice for folks whose school servers are down: you can easily create a Web-based email address on yahoo.com, msn.com, etc., to communicate with friends and loved ones outside the N.O. area.

Best of luck to you all. I appreciate reading your postings.

Rob

Prof. Verchick! It is so nice to hear from people at the law school. I'm glad that you and your family are safe in TX. I'm in Baton Rouge with a friend's family and thankfully we've had power the entire time. I'm still waiting to hear more official reports but am considering going back home to FL. Please stay in touch (loreliepapel@yahoo.com) and also let me know if you hear anything from the other faculty/staff at school. I hope they all made it out safely.

Take Care,
Lorelie
