I too, am from the area and my Granddaughter knows Katrina's sister. The whole community has been affected by this tragedy and are so inspired by Katrina's family. I love this site, in particular, as you are all so respectfull and operate off of "facts". Continue your great sleuthing.
Sherlock Holmes said you should never theorize before you have the facts-because then you twist the facts to suit theories rather than twisting theories to suit facts.
