IRENE: Adair Countian Gary Fausnaugh with Coast Guard D.A.R.T. Team

Senior Chief Gary Fausnaugh on his way to Springfield, MA

Betsy Fausnaugh writes:
As hurricane Irene bears down on the east coast of the U.S., I just received word that my husband, Senior Chief Gary Fausnaugh, is on his way to Springfield, MA, with his Coast Guard Reserve D.A.R.T. team out of Huntington WV

D.A.R.T. stands for Disaster Assistance Response Team, he specializes in water rescue. From this area his team can be sent anywhere from Maine down to NC. In previous years he has assisted in flooding in ND and KY.

This storm is a monster and I hope and pray that folks heed the warnings being sent out now and get out of her way! But if not the Coast Guard will be there for them. I will keep you advised as this plays out. Betsy Fausnaugh --Betsy Fausnaugh
Thanks. I'm sure the thoughts and prayers of all Adair Countians are with your family. Thanks for keeping us posted. We look forward to hearing how this plays out. -EW
