Elder,

I had a response to a recent post in the LA/MS forums from "patzmeow" who may be one that you're inquiring about. I had crossposted a question regarding figs in that forum.

They were yadda and bigeasyjock, maybe?

there was a posting last spring - unfortunately, I don't know how to link to it. so I added a posting to the thread to bring it into the current listings & ask how they were doing. if that posting forwards to his email, maybe there will be a reply.

Hi Elder,

Yadda was not affected by the hurricanes, but I do not see him so much in the Fig Forum, anymore. He is in the Houston area, as am I. He is even further west of the action than I am. I think it was at a plant swap he was hosting that I heard someone commenting on how odd it is that one had to water their yard while a hurricane was passing by.

The last I heard from BigEasyJock, he was rebuilding. I do not think he is the other person you were talking about, though.

Hey Lou!

There was no hurricane impact here on the southwest side of Houston. In fact, I did have to water my lawn on the day hurricane Rita hit the Texas/Louisiana coast. I have been lurking most of the summer and growing my fig cuttings out so I can share cuttings with some people this fall and winter. Yadda out

Thanks to all! The other person was indeed patzmeow, and I received a private email from him - he has returned to school studying anthropology and nursing, still has his fig orchard. He says the biggest impact the hurricane had on his area was with the people - more crime, housing shortages, etc.
At any rate, am really glad you guys came through it OK..... Elder (Lou)
