In Greensburg

We’re back at work. Most of us returned to Haviland Sunday evening.

We’re staying at Jackson Hall, a two-level building with four classrooms on the Barclay College campus. We’re occupying two of the classrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs.

There’s no stairway connecting the floors, so the women, who are staying downstairs, have to come around to get to our makeshift media room, which is also where the guys slept last night. The women opted for the downstairs room because it has blinds. The upstairs rooms don’t.

We’ll be able to use the other upstairs classroom after a CPR class today. The training is being conducted by Donna Meier Pfeifer, executive director of the Cannonball Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross in Pratt. The other downstairs classroom is a science lab with immovable desks, so we’re not using it.

We’re headed to meetings and interviews this morning. Several are going to Greensburg. A couple of us are sitting in on the South Central Kansas Tornado Relief Organization’s meeting in Haviland. Tonight, we’ll try to make the Greensburg City Council meeting.

That should give us a better handle on how things are progressing in Greensburg.
