[Leica] Jeffrey Smith tells the story

[crgrbrts at verizon.net (Craig Roberts)]

The story Tina forwarded  was very touching.  Last year just after 
Katrina I helped my son and daughter in law relocate from New Orleans to 
Atlanta. This young couple -- married less than a year -- lost 
absolutely everything and, to date, have gotten absolutely nothing from 
their insurance company nor any disaster assistance.  Luckily, they have 
family and friends who helped them and their youth, energy and 
enthusiasm have helped them build a better life. 

Many were and are not so fortunate, as we have seen.  I used to live in 
the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans (on Royal Street) in the very 
neighborhood whose destruction has been so expertly and sensitively 
documented by our own Jeffrey Smith.  If you haven't seen his 
heart-wrenching photographs yet, please visit:
