    I had the chance to attend a conference this past weekend in New Orleans. With much trepidation, I attended, hoping to see a great amount of change. I had the great fortune of helping out the Red Cross five years ago in the city and in Plaqueminnes Parish, on the behavioral health team, and was hoping to re-visit. I didn’t have the chance to return to Plaqueminnes Parish, however spent four days in the city, and am sorry to say that I wish I had seen more improvement.

    Still can’t believe that the rescue was such a failure in a country like the US. I remembering worrying about if my friends made it out and looking for them for months afterward. It was such a sad memory.
