Michael <br />and D%1ntra Greenwald of Joliet, Ill., <br />were assured that their two 80rul <br />were sale tirst appeared In the Joliet <br />Herald-News. The Rev. Harold <br />Westlund, who was pastor of the <br />G1Iurch of the Nazarene here for <br />seven years, sent the article to the <br />Coloradoan. <br /> <br />This Is what happened: <br />The Greenwalds. who both <br />practice medicine In Joliet, were <br />llke many others In distant parts of <br />the country deeply concerned when <br />they learned of the flooding, because <br />their sons were at a summer camp <br />near Estes Park. <br /> <br />Since even people who lived near <br />the flooded areas were uncerta1n <br />exactly what places had been af. <br />fected, those who live in other parts <br />of the COWltry and had relatives 1n <br />Colorado were even more uncertain. <br />Many, like the Greenwald.!!, lacked <br />familiarity with the region. The <br />doctors tried to call the camp but <br />were unable to get through. . <br />One of the doctors' medical clerks <br />Is a member ot the Joliet Nazarene <br />church and knew that Westlund <br />formerly had lived In Fort Collins. <br />The clerk took the problem to the <br />pastor. <br />Westlund has remained in contact <br />wJth the Roy Halls of Fort Coll1ns, so <br />he called them. <br />After consulting a map, the Halls <br />"felt quite sure the boys were safe," <br />because the camp is near Estes <br />Park and above the flooded <br />area-but thought 11 best to see for <br />themselves. <br />Getting to the camp meant going <br />around "the back way," reaching <br />Estes Park from the south and east, <br />but they did get there eventually. At <br />the camp, which ls about a mile and <br />a half from the town, they found that <br />It had been raining, and telephone <br />communications were cut off, but <br />otherwise all was well. <br />Returning to Fort Collins, they <br />were able to Convey to the Green. <br />walds that their sons were safe. <br /> <br />Neal and Eric, 9 and 10, have <br />returned to Joliet. <br />SaId Hall when contacted by the <br />Coloradoan, "It's no more than what <br />I hope somebody would do for me U I <br />was the one who dIdn.t know what <br />was happening. I'm sure lots of <br />people helped out to get word to <br />people when this thing came up. ,. <br /> <br />Concern shown <br /> <br />Here's a story that exemplutes the <br />kind of concern people were showing <br />one another after the flood: <br />(Eleanor Robb refX)rted th!II one) <br />"Alter the ordeal In the canyon. a <br />woman from Kansas who had been <br />taken out by helicopter was <br />recuperating at Loveland High <br />School. "I'm so thirsty," she <br />remarked to a woman sitting near <br />her. <br />WIth that, a boy In a leg brace got <br />up, limped over to retrieve a cup of <br />water, and brought it back to <br />present It to the woman. <br />One woman \\'as heard to say, "We <br />went up the canyon FrIday to a <br />$M,OOlproperty. We came backwtth <br />a OashIlght." <br /> <br />Food stamps <br /> <br />More than 180 familIes received <br />tree food stamps at the l.cveland <br />and Estes Park food stamp ott1ces <br />as a result of a federal waiver Issued <br />through the Colorado Department of <br />Socla1 Services to aid victlms of the <br />Big Thompson flood. <br />Ronald Mikesell, ~tor of food <br />assIstance programs for the <br />Colorado Department of Soclal <br />Services said the value of the stamps <br />was $8,m, all from federal sou.ree8. <br />Normally persons buy food stamps <br />based upon verlt1ed Income and <br />reaources. The waiver eUm1nated <br />the verification process to help <br />di.sastervtctlms from August 6-12. <br />Mikesell said these households <br />would be subject to quality control <br />review In the routine InvesUgations <br />conducted by the department. <br />probably In the November or <br />December reviews. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />. . <br />
