Friday...David was able to gather up all the items in Owensboro and put them on a 17 ft U Haul truck. We left around noon for Nashville. I followed in our van...loaded to continue on to Tupelo for a week of MOT. After unloading at the Scott's warehouse David and Tommy went to Franklin, TN. A man had offered to give us backpacks, blankets and canvas chairs for the container we were loading on Sat. They returned with a pickup loaded way above the cab.
Saturday morning...8 am.. it was time to load the 40 ft container. We knew we had a huge number of items to load. Thinking maybe we didn't have enough help we put out an SOS on Friday night. PTL! many responded. We are not really sure how many exactly showed up.....50 or 52...and I can tell you we needed every one of them. Some came for 2 hours, some for 4 and some stayed the entire 8 hrs it took to load. We had three stations set up sorting clothes while some of the men loaded 600 sheets of 15ft metal roofing.
OOPS...need to go teach a class. More later
