Bad news for one of my custom cabinentmakers

Any updates on this situation?

John dropped me a note this morning, her employer has heard from Jessica this week and she's doing OK, but very tired. No word on a resolution, apparently the kidnappers believe that the longer they hold her hostage, the more money they will get. They have not yet even specified a dollar amount for her release as they seem to have some difficulty in determining in deciding amount to demand.

Just heard the good news on the radio this morning - looks like the Navy SEALs were successful in rescuing Jessica and her Danish coworker.

Wow, I was just listening to a report from the BBC about this. Great news!!

I was just blown away when I turned on the radio this morning and heard that Jessica Buchanan had been rescued by Navy Seal Team 6 - same guys that got Bin Laden. I was glued to the news this morning (and late to work!) trying to listen to all the details. I don't know anything more than is being reported, but tried to call John on Monday to get some order status updates and he didn't return my call - so I'm confident someone was going on at that time. Interestingly I heard that President Obama called John personally to tell him "Your Daughter is coming home" right after last night's State of the Union speech. I know that John will most likely be on an airplane today to be reunited with her. I'll get all the details, but not for a few weeks until this all calms down and he's had a chance to spend some time with his family.

And Nancy, if you're reading this - thank you for your patience on your table. I know we are way past our promised delivery date and you've been very understanding.

A shout out to Navy Seal Team 6. Any of you guys that were in on this rescue and killing Bin Laden - come see me when you need a leather recliner (they are based out of Norfolk VA). You're going to get a hellva deal on one. Strong work

Quick update, I just spoke with John and his daughter is safe and in good health at a US Military base north of Somalia. He got to speak with her for about 1 minute last night after the rescue. John is here in Washington DC right now preparing to fly out to go meet here with his other adult children - probably somewhere in Europe is where they will re-unite. Told me he didn't sleep a wink after getting a phone call from President Obama last night at 10:30 p.m. He's tired, but happy.

I've been at work in the hospital all day and just happened to pass a patient room and heard "somali hostage" and "rescue" and knew it had to be Jessica... So happy that this ordeal is over. The ABC news story made reference to Jessica being ill but no details were provided. Hopefully she'll recover soon! I have been following the story closely online (Mainly via Somali report)
