I returned from my August trip to Poland just before Hurricaine Katrina ravaged New Orleans and the Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana Gulf Coast.

I am ok but the plight of those who have lost everything in the storm has moved me to volunteer my spare time to help with the rescue and resettlement effort. I hope to be back at PIP in the future but right now there is little time to post or to keep up with daily events here.

Best wishes. I will miss all of you.
