JOE SEMMES A saver of lives and a giver of love.

Great odyssey - Safe & sound! Loved picturing 'the Valley' (Shenandoah), and Blue Ridge, where Suzanne & I lived for 10 years. But my intro to the region was via Joe's mom, who drove Joe, Pat Strei and me to UVA for a Priory senior year visit.

What troopers you are and I know that home is good for your soul. Prayers for the right medical staff to emerge. Virtual hugs from CA.

Joe and Elonide: I just read your Caring Bridge entry about the trip to New Hampshire. You two are so very inspiring. We admire your courage and will so much.
