Subject: [Leica] A visit to Lakeview New Orleans

This past weekend, I helped my son move back to  New Orleans.  He has taken 
a 
job at the Marriott Hotel on Canal  Street.  

It was my first time back since Hurricane Katrina.   Saturday Night we 
watched the football game where a well-coached New Orleans  Saints played an 
outstanding game against some team from up Nawth.  I went  to a pizza place 
to pick 
up food for the people who had helped unload the  U-haul, just as we made 
the 
first touchdown.  The whole place erupted with  joyful cheers.  It was nice; 
seemed like the good old days.

Saturday  morning, I went to Lakeview, one of the areas most devastated by 
the storm, and  my home for many years.   Here's a little essay, along with 
my  
apologies to anyone with a slow connection.
