Back again from volunteering in Gulf States

4-1-06 - Just a quick status note that I was involved with the organization of over 400 University Students who, in lieu of enjoying a Spring Break this year, volunteered to join me and others for our on-going cleanup and medical services to the Huirricane Katrina victims. This time, and fortunately, we did not have the problem with alligators, water moccasins and mold. The need of these people seems never-ending, and the beginning of the 2006 Hurricane season is about 60 days away and *yes,* we are concerned.  The report that I submitted to the Federal Government and State Governments from my previous trips, named names and named agencies, that I felt were 'dragging their feet' of support. I may be 'called on the carpet for the content of my report but if this is the challenge that's needed to get things done - then so be it !
