On Saturday, March 29, 2008, the morning St. Paul Pioneer Press featured a front page article citing the 10th anniversary day of a devastating F4 tornado ripping through Comfrey. Clipping it out, I mailed the copy to the Souba’s. Per their 2008 Christmas letter, skipped Fred’s Navy Reunion in Boston in ‘08, but next year it will be in Newport News.
