LR- Gulf War Report - Day Six (Final)

[Cantley_Tim at emc.com]

Just an update here.  Conor and Dunstan arrived back safely, arriving here
in Rowlett about 6:00 a.m. this morning.  I woke up in time to let Conor in
the house and talked with him briefly after he unloaded then he went to bed.
Another note too is that Erik traveled to Georgia this last Monday and
arrived back safely sometime during the night.  All are back, safe and
sleeping at this time.
