Hurricane Katrina

A terrible tragedy occurred in August of 05 - Hurricane Katrina. We do have friends that live in the area and were affected by this horrific tragedy. Kassie and Kameron have friends that are from Louisiana. The Bodin Family - though now living in Texas - are from Louisiana originally and have many other relatives in Louisiana that were affected. It brought it that much closer to our hearts... and made the stories on TV more real life.

As well - Uncle Rich went down there with many other Lake County Fire Depts to go assist New Orleans in their time of need. The reports back were that it was like a war zone down there. While staying in one of the tent camps, Uncle Rich did actually get to shake hands with the President of the U.S. when the president went down there to view the devastation. Those people down there lost all they ever had - and have no where to go. Words can't describe the feeling of loss and devastation. No matter how much we pledge or give of ourselves - it just doesn't feel like enough. Our hearts go out to all those affected by Katrina. God Bless You all...
