Default OT another Katrina love story

There are 50 people here from Tennessee, Maryland and Florida repairing the
Presbyterian Church, the Episcopal Church has taken in the St. Peter's
Catholic school students and Burlington, Vermont has sent 30,000 pounds of
pumpkins, scarecrows and mums for Moss Point high school's fall festival. I
know you see the rubble on your tv news and wanted you to know about the
love. Polly

That is great, Polly. It is nice to hear good stories. Our neighbors down
the street that have a mobile home in Ocean Springs were contacted by FEMA
yesterday that they had their claim, and were processing it. They asked
them if they could come back to Mississippi this week, so our neighbors left
this morning. I hope FEMA has been in touch with your family.

Thanks Polly.
It is so important to hear of the other side to this tragic coin.

Please keep us posted on all developments. The news media has moved on
to the next big story. Those of us so far from the Gulf need to be
reminded that this was not the type of event that one sweeps clean in
a few weeks.

My news actually mentioned "A city in Vermont sent 30,000 pounds of
pumpkins so the Moss Point annual Fall Festival could go on as
scheduled." There was a little bit more said, but that one line at
the end grabbed my attention. There was even a film shot of people
taking mums and pumpkins off a truck and putting them in decorative
spots. Of course the film bit might have been stock footage and not
Moss Point at all, but the story itself was about it.

God Bless those that can side-step all the "boundaries" and ignore the
red tape.

Wonderful to hear that it hasn't stopped after the tv cameras left.

Polly,
This Friday my parish will have an annual major fund raiser, a
Fish Fry. On Sunday, our Pastor announced that we will share the
returns 50/50 with our sister Parish in Moss Point, Mississippi.
You will be relieved to know that I did NOT embarrass you by
standing up and shouting, "YES!! That is where my good buddy
Polly Esther lives!!" I hope we raise LOTS of money to send. I
already have two tickets.
Grins, PAT in VA/USA

Ah, the humilation of it all, how my face would have burned. I'm so glad you
didn't do that. Actually, we don't live in Moss Point. I don't even think
we've been through Moss Point in years. For reasons unknown to anybody,
Moss Point has a big new post office. All the mail for dozens of small
communities and the Swamp is routed through Moss Point. There are post
offices much closer to us and there must be some logic to the system. Never
mind. You wouldn't understand if I did and could explain.
However, Moss Point is bordered on one side by the Pascagoula River, on
the other side by the Escatawpa River. If that's not enough water, they also
have a large lake. When Katrina surged in, those Moss Point folks really
took on some water. I'm sure your sister Parish will be mighty happy you're
sharing with them. Polly
