[08:57] rond: C (Link: http://www.ixsys.com/findme/)http://www.ixsys.com/findme/
[08:58] CarlFK: " none of the 5 above are looking for him" ?
[08:58] rond: yeah
[08:58] rond: or not that I can find so far
[08:58] rond: I am suspecting its a very poor illerate family
[08:59] rond: they have no idea
[08:59] rond: But I have no idea
[08:59] rond: all I have is a conversation with Kenneth
[08:59] rond: and he is not real clear
[08:59] CarlFK: you may want to reword that
[08:59] CarlFK: to me it soudned like "doesn't care"
[09:00] rond: yeah I am not sure how to say that
[09:00] rond: the red flag to me points to capabilities not care
[09:00] CarlFK: right
[09:01] CarlFK: I think I see what you are getting at, but that one phrase...
[09:01] rond: Kenneth will never be able to find his way out of this situation
[09:02] CarlFK: "I have a feeling none of the 5 above know how to look for him" ?
[09:02] CarlFK: what is the "some preliminary work done " ?
[09:03] rond: A couple of sites have been filled out with his info
[09:03] rond: namely the red cross site
[09:03] CarlFK: thought so
[09:03] rond: and there is no matching info found yet
[09:04] CarlFK: may want to make that clear too.
[09:05] shars: mothers is plural? you have his mother in law and his biological mother?
[09:05] rond: biological
[09:05] rond: only
[09:05] shars: shouldn't the s have an apostrophe or no 's'
[09:05] rond: He cannot tell us very much
[09:05] rond: :)
[09:06] rond: I am going to have Leisha cross check it for me
[09:06] rond: this task is one of the saddest things I have ever approached in my life
[09:06] rond: he and I sat there yesterday evening on the front porch of a cottage
[09:06] rond: I had to tell him I was assigned this project
[09:07] rond: and if his mother could be found I would do it
[09:07] rond: he had his head in his hands when I walked up to him
[09:07] rond: and when I left that is how he was
[09:07] shars: I agree with carl in the so far none of the 5 are looking for him, just because they

haven't found him or looked for him online, doesn't mean they aren't looking, they might take offense

to that
[09:07] CarlFK: i salut you (or something)
[09:08] rond: yeah I am working on how to say properly
[09:08] rond: there is a possibility neither side of the family can help themselves in this matter
[09:08] CarlFK: bingo
[09:08] rond: Hmmmm
[09:09] shars: "I have no indication his family has been able to contact him or obtain a method for

searching his current location"
[09:09] rond: I have to dry my eyse first
[09:09] rond: One of the staff yesterday
[09:09] rond: a volunteer fireman
[09:10] rond: had to cry with a 23 year old mother
[09:10] rond: as she told him how she witnessed 6 women
[09:10] rond: give birth to babies in the superdome
[09:10] rond: and the aborted the babies into trash cans
[09:10] rond: she could not get past that
[09:10] CarlFK: wow
[09:11] shars: um...aborted...you mean the babies weren't stillborns?
[09:11] rond: No alive
[09:11] rond: they gave up
[09:11] CarlFK: they babies, or they mothers?
[09:11] rond: mothers
[09:11] CarlFK: omg
[09:12] shars: um
[09:12] rond: ????
[09:12] rond: we can only go with what we are told
[09:12] rond: and cannot really question too much
[09:12] rond: he had to hold her while she cried about it
[09:13] rond: there are good situations too
[09:13] rond: amazingly good
[09:13] rond: and most of the people have great attitudes and are working very hard to become

independant again
[09:16] rond: I actually have a bigger idea for this site but I don't see myself being able to pull it

off
[09:17] rond: that is a site for people to take on a search site/1 person and monitor
[09:17] rond: get local car dealerships or something
[09:17] rond: to commit to a reward of say 500.00 if you make a match
[09:18] CarlFK: na
[09:18] rond: have an option for the reward to be directed to charity
[09:18] CarlFK: I think there are enough people willing to donate time
[09:18] rond: Hopefully so
[09:18] rond: I suspect there is a lot of incapable situtaions out there
[09:18] rond: uncapable ??
[09:19] rond: (evacuees who cannot do the own finding work)
[09:19] rond: we almost have a network setup at camp carter for people to help themselves
[09:19] rond: and oh by the way
[09:19] rond: Dr Phil was out there yesterday
[09:20] rond: he did a surprise match at camp carter and filmed it
