Hi all,

Well, the equipment is repaired and up and running and things are moving right along after a little delay:

Hi All,

I don't know the names of the individuals involved in getting the equipment up and running so that our St. Luke's Turkey Dinner could go on as planned, but an all effort was apparently put on by some BFA Employees.  I understand that someone drove down to the airport this morning to pick up the part, however, the plane was delayed two hours due to mechanical problems.  The individual finally was able to pick up the part at 10 a.m. from the plane, bring it up and get the equipment fixed, because when I went down around 1:30 this afternoon, as you can see from the pictures above squash was cooking, dressing was in process and I assume they will now be able also to cook the potatoes in the big kettle.

I know it could have been worse and happened in the middle of the Turkey Dinner so that the food could not have been steamed - Sooooooo  We thank God for the many favors as well as those BFA Employees.

If someone knows who these individuals are who worked so hard to help us out, would love to know their names so they could get an official public thank you.
