from the old guy

I survived trying to keep up with 15 college students for three days, not bad for a 50+ guy. I admit they were up later a couple of nights but they said my snoring didn't bother them too much.

After the late nights and early mornings things are starting to come together. Everyone has a story, not just about that night but the days since. As you are talking with people about their story you find two or three more stories, it seems to be a never ending saga.

It's not just the people in Greensburg that lost homes and businesses, it is the people in Haviland, Mullinville and other communities that have stepped up and helped in any way they could. Even now, over a year later, everyone in the area is still dealing with that night in their daily lives.

The men in Haviland no longer have to drive to another town for a hair cut, Greensburg's only barber has relocated his business there. Churches are now hosting the hundreds of volunteers that are coming to help with the rebuilding every month. These are just two of the many examples that you find in the area.

I hope that we can give you an insiders view of what life is like in the Greensburg area.
