Duke did the Sound LABs survive?

Speaking for Duke, he got smart and moved out before the "Fit hit the Shan" (storm wise and otherwise).

Last I heard, he took a job with a speaker manufacturer a couple of months ago and moved to the Pacific Northwest. Idaho I think.

Maybe Duke will see this thread and fill in details. He is a passionate retailer and music lover and I always enjoy reading his posts.

His close friend Richard Gray still lives near New Orleans, I've tried calling his work and cell phone numbers, only to get a "fast busy" signal, meaning the phone delivery systems are screwed up by the storm.

I pray Richard is OK, he has travelled to my home on several occasions to do mods and listen.

I know you and Richard are good friends, is his home far enough inland to be safe from the flood waters?

I too am sorry for the Crescent city, I not only honeymooned there, I traveled there many times for pleasure and business, including Mardi Gras coverage for Southwest Airlines. I did SWA's Vacation magazine for eleven years and always pushed the art directors to let me return to New Orleans every year for "one more photo update."

How is life in Idaho? Wonder if you live anywhere near our good friend Pat Malone "Lugnut"?

Duke, that's good news when most of what were hearing and reading is bad.

Selfishly, I'm glad you and Richard are safe, and encourage you to find a way to visit Pat. He traveled here for short stay and we had a blast, a true music lover and a great guy.
