Find Craig Arnold

From Find Craig Arnold:

Our dear friend and an exceptionally talented poet, Craig Arnold, whom some of you know, has gone missing on a small volcanic island in Japan while on a creative exchange fellowship. Craig, an experienced explorer of volcanoes, never returned to his inn after leaving alone to research the island’s active volcano for the afternoon. The authorities are on the third day of searching for Craig, and are scouring the small island (of only 160 inhabitants) with dogs and helicopters. If he is not found by the end of the day, the authorities will call off the search. We can not let there be a lag in this search while finding Craig alive is still a real possibility.

And an update:

4/30 at 12:30 pm EST: The police will extend the search for three days. They will add 55 people (exact number NOT confirmed, but estimated) to the search.

We still need help! The island has dense vegetation, and only continued interest and pressure will guarantee enough manpower to find Craig.

Requests are being made that we all contact our Congress Critters to ask them to ask the Japanese authorities to continue the search.
