Voices: Staying a community



I hope there will be a way for Picher survivors who want to stay a community to build new homes elsewhere together.

I’ve sent letters to several parties, which include information about Monolithic Dome’s “Oberon four-plex” which is OK for people with shortfall problems (as in Greensburg, Kan.) and who lost nearly everything so can do with less floor space to restart.

The Superfund buyout shouldn’t sentence people to only existing homes, most of which are probably just as dangerous in a tornado as those just destroyed.
