Remembering Katrina five years later
In one of my earliest posts after starting this blog, I promised to post some images I took while assisting in the cleanup in the New Orleans area. I had at least six opportunities to go into New Orleans to assist in removing fallen trees, gutting ruined homes, and cleaning up debris in neighborhoods, following the big hurricane. Some of the visual images of the devastation will stay with me for a lifetime. Five months after Katrina, members of our stake, including myself, assisted in a cleanup project in Chalmette (east side of New Orleans). One month later, members of our ward, including myself, were involved in gutting Dennis and Michelle Pixton's home Chalmette. They lost everything and moved to Houma to restart their life. I have included a brief PowerPoint presentation of these experiences.

Those pictures are so sobering. It's great you were able to help so many people affected by the storm...
