All in the Family

If you watched WGRZ-TV News at 11 p.m. Sunday, October 22, you saw part of the lead story on the last lingering storm effects, the main ones being less than 1,000 Western New York NYSEG or National Grid customers awaiting the restoration of their power.
Among those spoken to in the Snyder portion of Amherst was Patricia, better known to us as Tricia, Dossinger, and her son, Jack, as they lived through 11 days without power, the last several with a generator, and how the power finally went on Sunday night; Tricia's idea of celebrating the return of power was to do a load of laundry.
Tricia is Val's sister and a real trooper; she, along with Jack and her husband, Brad, ended up in Batavia at a hotel for a little bit after the storm hit before returning to Amherst with a generator.

Hey, I saw that story on teevee, and I thought, "Hmmm, that woman looks like Bonnie Raitt!"

(Well, no, not really, but I did see the story. Small world!)

Yeah, and to think, both Val and Tricia are Bonnie Raitt fans.

Considering we never lost power (except for that one two-hour period), we are incredibly happy for Tricia, Jack and Brad; and with Brad sharing a Bills season ticket, he has seen enough grief this month.
