Holden Village, Washington  

Tonight, we write together from Chalet 13-up. Nothing could stand in the way of the joy and tears as we reunited on Main Street this misty, drizzly morning. Happiness came from being together again and seeing the Village in one beautiful, green piece. Tears came from the tough drive through the burned forest, weeks of fire stress, exhaustion, and just plain missing each other. Tonight, we give thanks for our staff, our families, our friends and the entire Holden community for their sustaining thoughts and prayers. There are now eight people in the Village. As soon as possible we will bring everyone home. To our friends in Wenatchee, Chelan, and everywhere else: we miss you. More soon.

With good courage, Peg + Chuck
