My mother, one of my daughters, and I lost everything during Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago (houses, furnishings, clothing, vehicles, etc) but we are doing fine now. My other daughter lives in Phoenix where I also lived for quite a few years.

I was interviewed on TV approx a year ago due to everyone being harassed by the Road Home Program after Hurricane Katrina. A lot of people said I did a great job and helped the cause. I have to give thanks for the speech classes, debate club, and other classes at DDHS that honed my skills in that area. I am very grateful for the wonderful education I received at DDHS.

If anyone comes to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, vacation, or whatever, please let me know. I live in Metairie now which is just adjacent to New Orleans. Some of the smaller Mardi Gras parades run just a couple blocks from my house. Of course, the large parades in New Orleans are the best.
There are always activities and festivities in the New Orleans area so people have no reason to be bored here,

My best to all of you. I hope you are all doing well. I will try to attached a photo soon.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Doris.  We were neighbors when growing up and enjoyed many activities together.  We recently connected once more through letters and email.  My sincere sympathy to family and friends of Doris. She was a very caring person who gave so much to others.  She will truly be missed.
