| Hey Greg, We survived with damage to our roof, siding, facia and foundation - about $50,000.00 worth. Insurance covered about two thirds of it. I was lucky several houses across the street from me were amlost completely destroyed. I worked through the storm and put in about 72 hours straight and then twenty hour days for almost a month. My wife and daughter were safe in Baton Rouge, but it was a month before I could get away from the job to see them. New Orleans is still a mess. Crime is rampant, cops and firefighters are fewer and whole neighborhoods are still ghost towns, but there is life here. The French Quarter was virtually untouched so the party goes on! Mardi Gras will be great next year! O.K. enough about me! Where is the party this year? I have always appreciated what you, Damon and others have done to keep this going! I'll drop by again soon. Keep the Z's going! Bob Darcey
