Glad the community could help and that Rick and his family are being cared for. Hopefully the extra bit raised will help them pay for their insurance deductible. I know it may not sound like $500.00 is a lot but for some people it can be and every little bit helps.

Not to mention the added expenses I'm sure they are incurring due to eating out, miscellaneous damages, lost food, etc.  It's a terrible time of year for this to happen as well.  I know we helped lift the Moyer's spirits in their time of need and that's the most important part of it all.

Indeed. It's always good to know you have friends.

Thanks to everyone for keeping us updated. I think it is fitting that we each, in our own way, can give a little bit back (which all adds up to something considerable I'm sure!) to a family that has given this podcast so much!! By far the Moyers are 2nd to Rico in terms of the time and effort they go to on behalf of the podcast - I love the "Father and Son" reviews which sometimes morf into the "Father and Daughter" reviews which is so cute (even if someone is a little shy!! :) ) and I do believe even Rick's wife has made a comment or two.. and of course the Gebular greeting messages have been a real hoot!

I have seen many times over the years online forum members come together for one of their own.. and just like Rick and his friends and neighbours are coming together for eachother - the online community is doing roughtly the same.

I think it also reminds us in this sometimes horrible world that goodness does still exist in humanity!

Finally sent it off Rico!  I know its late but Tillamook was badly damaged due to a really bad storm.  Power was out for 24 hours...etc.  I was still at college but just came home last night.  I'm glad I could help.

A new message from Rick Moyer.  And a picture.

Hi Everyone at Treks in sci fi--

Rico I wanted to call and thank you and everyone on the forums for the
incredible help and encouragement you have been over the last six days.  As
many of you know our Grays Harbor area in Washington State was hit by a
devastating Wind Storm that took out most of our Power, water and did severe
damage to many homes.

Our house lost it's roof and got severe water damage, so much so that we
have to move out to another place.  The first few days was so scary and was
very difficult because of having no power, but my cell phone worked through
the storm.. go figure!  I was able to get a message out to Rico on my Treo
and then I started getting some of the nicest emails and phone calls.  I
just want to say thank you to everyone.  When you guys sent us the gift
basket and then Rico informed me that you took up a collection for us my
wife and cried and were very thankful for friends like you all.   The money
was enough to pay for half our deductible and our insurance has already
taken care of other things that we needed.

People say that the world is an angry place, but honestly, with friends like
you, it restores my faith in people, especially Star Trek geeks like us, we
really do stick together.

THANK YOU, from the bottom of our heart THANK YOU!

We are now safe and warm and our pets are with us in a rental home.  It all
worked out just fine and we will be ok.  As I speak the contractors are
putting the new roof on and the water damage people are taking the sheetrock
out of the house.  Pretty amazing.

Please think good thoughts and say some prayers for the people here, there
are many people in the same prediciment that we are.

We are all just thankful that no one was hurt.  Amy, Nathan, Andrew, and
Catherine and I want to say THanks again treks in sci fi, you mean more to
us than we can ever say!

See you all on Wednesday, I get my internet back then!

I've been on holidays the last week, so I just discovered this news a few minutes ago.  I'm glad everyone is safe and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I sent in a small donation today.
