AFDCS Treasurer Mark Thompson and his wife Linda are fine after the devastating tornadoes in central Tennessee, but a big tree fell on their house in East Nashville, crushing the two dormers. (Mark’s home office was up there.) The tree also ruptured the gas line, so power is cut in the neighborhood to any homes that might have still had it. East Nashville was one of the harder- hit areas of the city.

Some of his collection may be damaged by the rain, but he believes his gold-medal exhibit is fine.
