That person who saw Jim Wade drinking a beer today (10 Oct 2000) was Milo Paz, Jr.

If either he or his dad says he saw Jim Wade drinking beer, he saw Jim wade drinking beer.

It's very good to hear that not so far fetched news (please pardon the double entendre).

Mervino.

Rudy Duran and all his family is fine.
He lost his home but did not lose his apartment that he rents out. But, said that he did not want to ask the renters to move as they would have no place to go.

Rudy and Ricardo Duran and their families are fine, but lost all of their belongings. The roofs of their houses are gone.

Celeste - sang with you a couple of times. Hope you and yours are well. Any news on Amy Brown, Bruce and Charlene from BC's?

Peggy -

Please let us know (here) that you read the good news about your big brother, Jim Wade.

This is frustrating, especially given some of the awful rumors, which I have no idea whether to believe or not without facts.
There are a lot of people I would like to ask about but I don't know their last names, and in some cases, I don't remember their names at all (too much data in my head, when I shake it, some of it falls out of the holes or maybe I'm just tired...)
1. The owners and staff of The Reef restaurant. The owners live next door and have unusual pets. I am drawing a blank on their names......but its after 1 AM. One of the guys who works there is named Adiel but I don't know his last name, sorry....
2. The Garifuna band brothers and cousins, etc. (No names come forth here either, sorry..)
3. Junior who works with Gaz Cooper. I know his last name but I can't remember it right now. He's tall, with a beautiful smile and besides being a dive master is a basketball player.
4. All my step-daughters' friends on the soccer team, including Landy and Landy's family. I will ask her to tell me all the names that I can't remember next time I see her, but its too late to do it tonight.
5. Minnie's Squires' family.
6. Joe _____ ? With the interesting hairdo. Another one of my stepdaughter's friends but I don't remember his last name. He does construction work and sometimes works on some of the dive boats. He used to work for Eduardo Brown a long time ago.
(Yes, I've looked on the "OK" list and either these people aren't on it or I am missing them for lack of a last name....)

I am looking for information on the following people and their families--
Miguel Alamilla
Florencio Acosta
Felix Ayuso
Jody and Jessie Leslie
Liz S. (teacher at New Horizons)
Lydia Guerrara
The people at Bacalar Chico and Hol Chan Reserves

Could anyone tell me if Kim and the gang at Holiday Hotel are doing ok since the storm? I and several others have tried to get in touch with them and to no avail! Can someone help, please!? I am quite concerned!

Mervino, JAYBZE and anyone else in the know:
We would like word on the Gomez family and Rubies Hotel - Romel Sr. Esther, Vidi, Nesto, Tere, Ruby and Juan and all the little ones. Any information is MUCH appreciated !!
Thanks to you all on this message board who have been doing so much to help.
