Can I come back?  I seem to be getting my life back together after the
Flood of '97 and would like to be a member of MMD once again!

My children and I have moved to Brainerd, Minnesota and are very happy
here.  We cleaned our flooded house and sold it to a woman whose house
was destroyed.  If anyone has any questions or comments about the
flood, I would be happy to hear from them.  Glad to be back!
