" . . .the reason they weren't going back was that the city was destroyed!"
Ken, I hesitate to join in this conversation, because I think Mama Bush should probably have been a little more circumspect. Much as I like her.
However, I spent most of yesterday working at a church-sponsored hurricane shelter near Fort Worth.
The stories are horrendous, the people traumatized. I talked to many. Over and over, they said what Barbara Bush said. They want to find their families, they want to resettled, and they never want to go back to New Orleans. And it's not because it's flooded.
They're asking about jobs, they are gracious and appreciative and ready to start over.
These are people who came straight to us from the Superdome, not screened, still in the wet clothes they had been wearing for a week.
I wish them the best.
good for you helping out!!! God bless.
Very interesting reply. Good to hear.
