But both are relieved to get through the Oct. 15 Hawaii earthquake with a minimum of fuss and bother and no personal injuries. Friday was their first day back at work. Evan is a second lieutenant in the public affairs office at Robins Air Force Base and Erin teaches kindergarten at Lake Joy Elementary in Warner Robins. Erin said a number of teachers poked their heads in her classroom Friday and made some comment along the lines of: "Way to go. You guys made the earth shake." Evan said he received similar ribbing. But the jokes were hard to come by about 7 a.m. on the 15th. Evan said he was the first to wake up but Erin was the first to say anything.
