Hi Tony, many thanks for asking. The GOOD news is that Kathy and her family are fine in Lafayette, LA, as Lafayette was clear from the brunt of Katrina. Unfortunately, her in-law's, who live in
Pass Cristian, MS , lost their home. It and the surrounding area were totally demolished. Though they were able to evacuate safely, they now have nothing left but whatever they could pack into the trunk of their car. I'm sure the horrific aftermath of Katrina will permanently affect the lives of it's survivor's for years to come. Scott
