Hello, I have been searching as well for close friends and family. I am looking for Vincent Phillips in Slidell Tina and Richie Boni of Pearl River La. I live in Philly and of course can not contact them. I would be grateful if anyone has any news. I can’t believe how slow the government is in responding. Looks like all the help from the national guards is in Iraq.
