Neal Johns recent info
Last evening (Sunday) I received an email from a friend who had recently heard from Neal Johns. Neal's home was spared in the heavily burned Lytle
Creek area. Their electrical power is out and I am not sure if residents are allowed back into the area yet. Neal may attempt to get on line with his
laptop.

Thanks John... I think Neal needs to relocate all his books to my house (hee hee), as Oceanside is safe from the fire storm. Seriously, I am so glad
to hear that Marian and Neal have not lost their property. That home is magnificent and practically a desert museum.

Neal Johns Lives!
Situation in Lytle Creek:
No power.
Phones OK.
No fire active except in upper canyon beyond houses.
All roads into Lytle Creek closed.
Our house, no damage. fire was 30 feet away, three houses burned a block or two away.
We (me, current wife and dogs) are home in Lytle Creek and OK.
Heartwarming support received from all WiWs. :-)
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

I Never Told You This Before Neal....
....According to the Chinese Calendar, I am a Dragon.
I am most compatable with a Monkey or a Rat. Either way...you're covered.
You have been warned....

Mr. Johns
I served as a firefighter on the Lytle Creek fire of 1972, or was it 71, after being dropped off by helicopters in the morning, a couple nights we
worked our way down the slope, walked to the bar in Lytle Creek. Had a hell of a time dancing (in smokey, sooty clothes) with some gals who worked in
the pancake house in Corona. Then stumbled back to our camp in the Applewhite Campground.
But what I remember most is that the Lytle Creek fire was the most dangerous fire I had ever worked.
