Work has been a little different this week. It's been harder for everyone to focus on the normal job stuff.
Me and a couple other people have put together a memorial walk for the families of the victims of the plane crash. It will be next Friday from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Canyon Park Trail in Cedar. Anyone who reads this from the Cedar/St. George area and who can make it please help get the word out. Tonight the governor of Utah, Elder Snow (one of the General Authorities of the LDS Church), and Dane Leavitt will be speaking at a community gathering at SUU of around 5,000 people and will announce it for us. We're also working with the local papers and business networks. The mayor has been great and is supporting us. We were hoping to get 200-300 people there, but it's looking like we may get up to 1,000.
I guess the hardest part about something like this is that you want to help but you don't know what you can do. Though it may not be much, it feels good to at least be doing something.

Mandy Johnson that was killed is Whit Johnsons sister. I wasn't sure if you knew that. We are so sad to hear about the crash. Wish we could join in the walk. That is great that you are organizing it.
Not to make fun but rather to make light in an uneasy time, I might suggest that if you want to help but don't quite know what to do, perhaps you could follow Christine Pearson's example, as found here.
