Hill Country Man Swept Into Creek

A Central Texan has died because of the flash flooding in our area.
Searchers in Gillespie County, west of Austin in the Hill Country,
found the body of Alan David Grierson this morning. Eyewitnesses told
deputies the man was driving north on RR 1376 when his vehicle
stalled at a creek crossing last night. The waters reportedly washed him off
the roadway and into the creek
itself. A search and rescue operation was started, but the rain and
rough terrain hampered their efforts.

I am so sad about this. Deep condolences to Al's family and friends.
For the roses, indeed, Al.

Al Grierson was a sweet man and a caring musician who will be missed by all
who knew him. Once more, the Kerrville Folk Festival has lost another of its
"precious sons." Take some time today, to say a prayer for Al and his
family.
