    Our thoughts are with Christchurch

    February 23rd, 2011

    Like the rest of the country, we are all shocked and saddened by yesterday’s earthquake and the devastation and loss in Christchurch. That this should happen again, with such force, to a city still recovering from the September quake and the 4,900 or so aftershocks they have had to deal with since, is tragic and our hearts go out to the people of Christchurch. Here at TalkTax and CCH we have a number of Christchurch-based authors, and in particular we would like them and all our Canterbury-based subscribers and customers to know that our thoughts are with them and their families and friends at this time.
