HAPPY UPDATE: I heard Saturday morning from a mutual friend who spoke with Gary... Gary was able to have a friend's son; a California Highway patrolman, drive by to verify that the house IS STANDING
. Most of all this was a HUGE relief to Gary, and secondly a relief to friends and all of the TV collecting community.
He should be allowed to go home some time soon. On his behalf, thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers!!!!
