Good news indeed, Lamar! Thank you for the info. I can't help but wonder what the $0.8 million could have done had it been invested before the storm, though. Granted, it might have been $0.8M dashed into the sea. On the other hand, maybe there's a lesson here for us all. Maybe we should all open our pockets just a little more to the various lighthouse preservation societies before the next hurricane season begins -- it's cheaper to invest up front!
