My daughter, Jennifer, and her family (husband, John, and two daughters - one an infant , one a toddler) from New Orleans are staying with us in Beaumont. Their home is in the Garden District, a block off St. Charles Avenue. From what info we can gather, it appears that their house had no rising water. We don't know about glass breakage from wind or damage from fallen trees. Their home is a beautiful old nineteenth-century structure which they totally remodeled and expanded in size two years ago.

We sheltered two families of their friends at our beach house on the Bolivar Peninsula last week. One is Jennifer's OB-GYN who delivered our grandchildren and who is expecting her second child in a month. She and her family live in Old Metaire and believe their house is dry, as well. They are all worried about the looting of their properties, fires and their safety in returning to their homes. They all want to get back and start rebuilding New Orleans!

John's classmate, Harry Connick, Jr. (New Orleans' Jesuit High School, Class of '85) has already been on the scene at the Superdome and Convention Center, trying to spread encouragement. We believe he will be an important catalyst in the efforts to bring New Orleans back!
