Past Chief Chaplain Jim Van Houten passed along the following information:
South East Director, Bob Ruston and his wife Nancy, were on vacation at their timeshare on Cape Cod when they received a call from their Fire Dept telling them that their home was on fire. They have returned to the Town of Newburgh and are staying in a local hotel. Bob has been meeting with the insurance adjustor about repairs as well as defining a time frame for them to return home. I plan on going there tomorrow to aid Bob in recovering the vast volume of chaplain's material from his basement office. I'm sure they could use our prayers right about now. Thankfully no one was hurt.
We will update everyone if there is anything we can do to assist Bob and Nancy. Until then, our thoughts and prayers are with the Rustons as they recover from this disaster.
