| from . . . Ken Kidd, South Carolina . . . Dick, good morning. When the fires were out of control in April around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I went on a call with the fire de- partment to Myrtle Beach to fight the fires. |
| We got back around 0230 Friday morning. I was only about 3 or 4 miles from Sid Nichols home. I e-mailed him that we saved his home from the flames. Depart- ments from all over South Carolina and North Carolina responded. |
| I played golf that morning and had an eagle on one hole and shot 77 for the round. So, I guess, my next round of golf I should stay up all night. We are the way up to Bethesda, Maryland to close on our townhouse in Deep Creek. I will be playing golf at Marlborough and Tantallon at that time. Take care, and the weather here is spectacular.
