New Orleans – Hurricane Katrina

I have a friend, LeRoy Hartley, who is an attorney in New Orleans. We met about 16 years ago, when I working on a schooner in Bar Harbor, Maine. Several phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. Considering the chaos of Hurricane Katrina and lack of utilities in the area, I hope that yourself, your family, and loved ones are well, and simply unable to return the messages.

If anyone does happen to know LeRoy, and if he is well, please post a comment or send me and email. LeRoy lives at 1805 Esplanade Avenue.

Our thoughts are with you, and all of those affected by Katrina.

Update: I found from a tab added on scipionus.com that there is 3 feet of water at 1824 Esplanade. Google maps added a Katrina satellite link with updated photos, including the flood water.

Update 2: LeRoy seems to be well and has stayed at his home throughout this ordeal. Thanks for the update, Jim!

Warm Regards,
Michael

Grandma got a good Roxie fix

Thanks for coming and staying for a week, Mom! It was really nice to share a good amount of our normal daily life with you. Roxane has asked about whether you would “be back today” quite a few times in the last few days – she had a great time, and I know she enjoyed your stay, too.

Old Photos

I stumbled across a photo CD that I had not uploaded to the gallery, so I put it in about the right place, based on the date. It was about August 2002, since we were in San Antonio, but had not bought our house, yet, and it was it was Emma’s birthday party.

3 Hurricanes in a Month

Hurricane Jeanne Track Hurricane “Jeanne” is about to hit Florida – this is number 3 this season – “Frances”, “Ivan”, and now “Jeanne”. Hope you are all right, Mom and Dad.

First Dentist Visit

Roxane went to the dentist for the first time on Monday. She let the hygienist and dentist poke around, count teeth, and do the whole polish and floss routine. They were amazed, and told me that they have 6 and 8 year old patients that they have to struggle with, and that she was just incredible for a 2 and 1/2 year old. I told them that I already knew that 😉
