Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Alex and Jane of Tinker's Tapes”
Tinker is still around. One of their sons works at Dada's and the other, does wood flooring I think what my kids told me. My oldest son is 24. His class through the years, was the largest class at Guerneville School, to be known as the flood baby class. In nursery school (Rainbow School) more then half the kids were all born withing a month of each other and within 9-10 months of the flood.

Hello, I was one of the people 'rescued' in the big tandem helicopter at the Guerneville cementery back in 1986. I was doing a search for the type of helicopter it was. Thanks, Juan

Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Helicopter Rescue at the Cemetery”
Funny, I remember leaving by helicopter after 5-6 days as I did not want to leave, from a business that was about 2 miles down the road heading towards Armstrong Woods Park. It was a big parking lot, chain link fence and it was a business of some sort. Sorry memory is very foggy on details. I do remember sitting right next to the tv camera man so I did not get on tv because he could not swing the camera around on me I was too close. It was an incredible flight in so many ways.
Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Kids Outside the Church”
Ok, I have to share a story on this one. We slept in the church and in Dominic and Sam Raitanos semi truck, we were all stranded in this small part right on the edge of town. The only way you could go from here is to Armstrong Woods Park. No way out other than helicopter. So the funny part of this is those of us that were in our "party" phase had a blast because we could party (and we were not obnoxious I dont think) and the police could not do anything about it. We just drank from our "silver bags" from the soaked boxes of cheap wine that floated out of the Safeway store and felt it was funny that at 17-18 years old we could drink and get away with it. Wow, this is bringing back major memories.
Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Dominic Raitano”
I cannot believe that it is still running. I helped to build that Safeway, Dominic and Sam Raitano were a huge part of my life as Sam and I were together for many years and I spent many soaked days during the flood saving the collectibles from the arcade, packing up video game systems, taking the semi truck across the bridge to save some police officers. Being helped across the main road with a 55 mph current holding onto a rope and the fire fighters helping us across. I remembering them opening the doors to the Safeway, and we ran around with a boat and picked up all the "silver bags" that were the insides of the cheap boxes of wine. We partied hard, it made things seem better. Spent too many days at the Vets building, but the military helicopter ride was incredible. Being 18 at the time it was so crazy!!
Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Rescue on the Stretcher”
Wow, Herb what a flashback to see your face. And the flood well, I lived through it, the stories are long and entertaining and will put some together to share. But for now, so happy to see this being done...brought tears to my eyes. I lost my best friend, Laurie Levengood (Goerke) just a few months ago and this brought back such tremendous memories and some tears.
Re: “The Guerneville Flood Project: Dominic Raitano”
Dominic is my mother's brother, which makes him my uncle by birth.
