Has anyone heard from, Jeff (Falconer) , his Carving Studio is very close to the forrest fires,near and around Yellowstone National Park,CA.
My family and my prayers for Jeff and his family and all of the other families
in the area to come out these devestating fires safe. God Bless the firefighters and volunteers that have been bravely putting their lives on the line and on hold through out California 24/7 for the last month,all deserve a big thank you.

Hubby spoke with his cousin last night in Oakhurst (near Yosemite), which is fairly close I believe to Falconer. They have only had lots of smoke, but things can change fast. Hopefully Falconer will check in and let us know how he and family are doing.

Hey everyone!! thanks for your concern and prayers. Currently, everythings fine and all that we have had is some smoke. The fire is positioned on the western side of Yosemite and heading for the park border. The firefighters are working there tails off to see that the park doesn't burn. My cabin and studio are at the southern end of Yosemite and everything is fine here. Thanks again!!
