I agree with Lee and Jody that Jim was put in difficult position. There were people there who apparently expected him to give them an exact location and timetable. There were others who expected him to answer questions about civil defense issues and other things that only politicians (God help us with those)could answer.
When Jim finished, most of us had a lot of respect for him. About half (or more) of the crowd left when he did, and many of us who stayed for the mundane business of HPP had a stange, eerie feeling at first. When I thought about it, though, I understood that the best thing we could do was to go on with our lives and our community business. Knowing that it could all be taken away makes it just that much more important that we do it right.
Cheer up folks!
