Returned from Mississippi
Dr. Mark Banks returned on September 16
Hello all-
I returned from Mississippi late last night, tired but satisfied about my contribution. The images in the media don't begin to help understand the magnitude of destruction, loss, and desperation in an enormous swath throughout the gulf region. There will be an ongoing need for your support and compassion for much time to come. Progress is made every day, but there is so much to be done.
To make the point, when I arrived, the area seemed like a fourth world country, and when I left, it felt more like a third world country, albeit one in an active war zone.
It was strange yesterday to leave Gulfport and fly to Atlanta, where normal life was in full swing at the airport. Open restaurants, upright trees, intact buildings, drinkable water, flush toilets, and no military presence were immediate signs that I had left the affected area.
Thank you for your kind words and support offered to Iris and I while I was away. Please continue to support the victims of the hurricane in any way you can. They truly need and appreciate it.
Mark

Hello Mark:
I too have just returned from the Kristina/Rita crisis, and volunteered as a new Red Cross member with the central Vermont Chapter. As I was preparing for deployment, your blog was of great value to me as it helped paint the picture of what was to come, and what I should expect.
I was not able to get down to the coast, so did not see the destruction that you saw however I was deployed as an ERV driver in the Montgomery, AL and Jackson, MS areas, and was deeply involved in interaction with clients in local shelters and hotels.
You inspired me to begin my own blog, and, if you have an interest, you can see it at www.peterskatrinablog.blogspot.com
Thanks for what you do, and I hope we might meet someday.

Dear fellow blogger,
I perused your post with much interest as I was looking for ways to trade in road. But unfortunately your post did not exactly cover trading in road. Yet I have fount a website that allows you to trade in almost anything like road on interest free credit, and you can pay for your road whenever you want. Here is the link one more time: road.
