Southdowns

Just got this email.


> LAURIE WRITES:
> Many of you have heard many different rumors about "the closing of
> Southdowns" in the last day or two.
>
> Here are the facts. Last week Rodney left town for a couple of days to
> be
> with his mother in San Antonio for some medical procedures. He returned
> around midnight Saturday night and came home tired from flying and
> hospitals. Sunday morning he went to his desk to go through the books,
> etc. and found a registered letter from Donnie Jarreau Real Estate's
> lawyer informing him as of May 31, 2008, he was to be out building.
> Right now, Doug, Rodney, and I are basically in shock. A lot of
> options,
> ideas, suggestions, etc. have to be weighed, cried over, stomped on and
> considered. About the only thing we know for sure is Rodney and I are
> getting our home prepared to sell, and are cancelling anything that cost
> money.
> Several of you have asked "What can we do to help?" . The best answer
> for
> that is GO TO SOUTHDOWNS, BRING YOUR FRIENDS, AND SPEND MONEY. This
> does
> not only effect Doug, Candace, Rodney and I but several other employees
> that rely on this business for income.
> When we know more, you'll know more. Thank you all so very much for you
> concern and support.
