KOLBE UPDATE:  STILL NO POWER, BUT PROPERTY SAFE

  Bill Rosenblum writes: "We're optimistic that things seem to
  be looking better for George and his family and his books.
  Wednesday we had wildfires raging in Colorado but the
  temperatures dropped 50 plus degrees in 12 hours, plus
  light winds and freezing rain made us all very happy.  Had
  dinner last night with Jesse Patrick and both he and I send
  our best to George."

  Bill McDonald writes: "Please convey to George the concerns
  of those of us at the Classical & Medieval Numismatic Society
  for him and his family - in fact on behalf of all numismatists in
  Canada as we, in a number of areas in Canada have gone
  through what George and his family are experiencing, although
  not on such a large scale as the tragic events now unfolding in
  California. Also we welcome the recent news that the situation
  may be getting under control and hope and pray that all danger
  may soon be over."

  Barry Tayman writes: "Thanks for the update and the continued
  good news.  We are all grateful for your assistance in keeping
  us informed. Hopefully, George's house and contents will
  continue to be spared."

  Ray Williams writes: "Thanks Wayne for keeping us informed as
  to the Kolbe's being okay and that their home is ok so far.
  I'll share this info with the colonial egroups."

  This afternoon the following note appeared on George's
  web site (http://www.numislit.com):

      Due to fire threat in Crestline:
      11/2/03 1:00 PM PST
      Evacuation for most of Crestline has been lifted.
      George has returned home. Office, house and
      property fine. No power. Phone problematical.
      No FAX or Internet.

  We can all breathe a sigh of relief now.  With luck George
  will be back online by next week and will provide us with
  a first-person update.
