I thought some of you might want to hear this account by a co-worker of my husband. He has family in New Orleans and went here over the weekend:
"On a quick note, I had a chance to visit/search parts of New Orleans over the weekend. I am happy to report that most of what I saw did not resemble what is being reported in the press. What I saw was true compassion and people working as hard as they could to benefit their fellow man. Nothing warms the soul than to see people work so hard in such a selfless manner. One little event just sticks in my head. During this visit, I encountered a very elderly woman that asked me for a bottle of water as she was very thirsty. I offered her as much as she would want. She simply took one bottle and said There are people that need that more than me, turned and walked away! Despite her needs, she was thinking of everyone else."
