Demolition company employee Mike Shrosbree takes a short break after helping to tear down Bassett Furniture Co.

Nov. 5th. 1987.....
Dear friends, it has been a month since the earthquake that hit Whitter very strong. Many of you have called, tried to call, or written. This letter is in response to those enquires. We are all OK. Jon, Kevin, Brent, and I were all home together. Brandon lives in Hollywood now where there was little damage. Jon and I were upstairs. We were not able to move out of our room and Jon followed the proper drill and held me in a doorway. As soon as Jon was able he ran downstairs and got to Brent's room. Brent was in his bed with very big eyes. Kevin was also in Brent's room at that time. I grabed shoes for Jon, Kevin got his shoes and we all meet at the front door to run outside. The quake was approx. 20 sec. As we gathered outside we also saw our neighbors and some of the damage.
