Out of these moments come
stories of incalculable heroism.
Doctors worked around the clock
without thought of giving in to
their tired bodies. Mennonites
came by the busload from Penn-
sylvania and Ohio, immediately
setting up their shops and re-
building homes and barns. They
didn’t send letters saying. "Let
us know if we can do anything."
In contrast there were also
the vulturous. Within minutes
looters were combing through
the wreckage. One grief-strick-
en man arrived at the site of
his home only to see a man
walking off with a television set.
In what must have been the
height or depth of ghoulishness
was the experience df one who

ral varied projects which in-
clude arts and crafts and a
