[Bricklin] New Zeland Earthquake

[John T. Blair]

Most of you know John & Loretta Stead live in Christ Church, NZ.

If you haven't heard, I just heard this morning, that there was another large
Earthquake in Christ Church, NZ.  From what I've found on the net, it appears

I sent Loretta an email at 8:30 this morning to see if they were OK, 
as I'd heard
about 100 people were killed.

Loretta just sent this back a few minutes ago:
