Damage at DSLCC
DSLCC was closed on Monday.
Most participant's families were without power and communications for several
days. Gasoline was difficult to come by.
So the Governor's School came to a shortened end, with participants coming to
campus when convenient to mount leaves on herbarium paper and present Ecothings.
