Help for Steve Clardy

[Ken Salisbury]

It has come to my attention from a post on the familywoodworking forum that Steve Clardy has suffered a disaster. Due to heavy snow fall the roof on Steve's shop has collapsed. Steve has been a member and a contributor here for a long time. We should all reach out and offer our help to Steve to recover from this disaster. For more information you can go to familywoodworking.com for more details. Please help where you can.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

[Roger Myers]

Will be more info coming later as to what type of assistance would be most useful.

[Dennis Peacock]

So what are we as Creeker's gonna do? How about getting a fund drive together? I am willing to be a central point of contact.

St. Louis and surrounding areas got hit by a nasty ice storm. 500,000 people without power/phone. Myself included. I'm writing this from a friend's house because our house is pretty darn cold.

Theres at least an inch of ice in my area with snow on top. Outlying areas got it a lot worse. I had some damage, house banged up and one 20 foot stretch of gutter torn off the house by falling iced up limbs.

Trees and lines are down everywhere. This is a winter version of last July when power was out for over a week and no hotels could be found for 50+ miles outside STL.

I hope Steve and his fam are doing ok.

[Jim Becker]

Yes, that's a horrible thing to happen to a really nice fellow...and one who makes his living in his shop.

Dennis, I'll be happy to contribute something.

[Joe Mioux]

Dennis that is a great idea.

Gary Herman, STL metro area has 500,000 "homes" without power, that equates to probably around 2 million ppl.

We got lucky over here in Carlyle..... a light dusting of snow. the winds dried out the rain before much of it froze.

Ken, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Dennis, yeah, Steve is a good guy and, like Jim mentions, is dependent on that shop for his livelihood! Once something gets more solidified toward that end, count me in! (Insert "thumbs up" icon here!)

Gary, the greatest consolation here is, you and your family are OK! We can only be hopeful that a repeat of last July does not come into play, particularly with freezing water lines and such. Best of luck to you and please, keep us posted. Your welfare is our concern!

[John Hart]

Yep...I'm in on any kind of contribution drive you come up with. Terrible stroke of bad luck.

[Carl Eyman]

That is, can somebody come up with a pay-pal donation scheme. or post an address thzt we can snail mail a check to. but avoid having to go to another forum to help him out? I'm an old guy, help me out.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I'll be in too! Nice guy....needs that shop to earn a living....

I'm in Carl's boat. I'll contribute. He's a fine guy. Lets just make it simple and easy....
