Our Friends in Christchurch, New Zealand

Yesterday's earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand was devastating--our hearts and thoughts are with the people of New Zealand as they begin the recovery process. We've been hearing from readers who want to know if we've heard from our spinning colleagues and friends. We've heard from some (directly and indirectly)--Margaret Stove and her husband and their immediate family are okay. Anne Field and her husband are also okay. Their houses have been damaged by the quake (and aftershocks), but they are able to stay in them. The Ashfords in Ashburton (about an hour away from Christchurch) are also okay. 

Please share the news you've heard in the comments.
