Young,

HOLY SHIT!

Those stories you are describing are nuts man! Luckily the family is safe, and that's truly all that matters right now. People pulling out guns and shit? Wow it's gotta be insane out there.

How are you holding up bro? You are always welcome to come hang out at Cornell. It's biz as usual here.

Just stay strong out there. Keep chugging away. Hopefully things will start getting back to normal soon
