Sad news for our SCV camp

I am sure that many of you know Compatriot Frank Long, who is a faithful member of our SCV Camp. This morning his little granddaughter Katie, who would be 12 years old next week, was hit by a car and died several hours later after she was airlifted to Pitt Hospital. We understand that the accident was totally unavoidable as Katie ran in front of the car, trying to make it to a store across from her bus stop. The woman who hit her was pregnant and went into shock and had to be taken to a hospital also. This happened on Sandridge Road outside of Swansboro.

Katie was a beautiful little girl and was Frank's daughter's child and had three older brothers. We ask that each of you please keep Frank and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I am sure that our Camp will want to do something in the way of a donation or flowers. Please feel free to make suggestions. Will let you know more as we hear it.

Thanks and God Bless
