I just want to thank the people of St. Cloud, the fire department, rescue people and St. Cloud State University for all (their) help your prayers in this horrible, horrible time.

There were three phone calls back and forth, but Scot seemed to be disoriented and going the wrong way and he didn’t make a connection.

If a call came in, I wanted to be damned sure she was there to take it. My main objective was to get to St. Cloud and find my son.

All we can do is cover all our bases. There hasn’t been time to eat, and when I try, I can’t keep anything down.

We appreciate your support. We’ve got to bring Scot home. I want to thank everybody. It has just been … it means a lot that people show up and thank you.
