The streets we saw in the 9th Ward were cleared but it looks like the hurricane happened a few weeks ago.

We had some very skilled people in our group. A few do home construction and remodeling. I just brought my enthusiasm.

One of the homeowners was showing us around the 9th Ward and he made a comment that America has forgotten them.

Everybody that is left is in a state of limbo and doesn’t know if their neighborhood is going to be rebuilt or what is going to happen to the city.

But it is somewhat true because, as a society, we have short memories and there are always new tragedies to capture our collective imagination.
