MEDFORD (AP) — An Oregon couple volunteering in Mumbai, India, have called friends in Central Point to say they were not harmed during the terrorist attacks.

Kathy McNeill of Central Point says Dolores Scheelen called her Wednesday from India. McNeill says the two have been friends for more than 30 years.

In a 10-minute conversation, Scheelen told McNeill that she and her husband, Bob Harleman, were living in a neighborhood with a “casual guard.” McNeill says her friend did not feel they were in immediate danger.

The couple went to India in late October to volunteer at an autism clinic, and they plan to stay there for three more weeks.
