For Brenda

Uploaded: October 02, 2005 23:53:27

Description

This is dedicated to my friend Brenda LaFleur. She finally got to go check out her home in Lake Charles LA.after Hurricane Rita made landfall there. I am glad things weren't too bad, and you will be able to go home soon and start fixing the damage both to your home and your lives.It's ironic that Brenda donated her photos to Art for New Orleans to raise money for Karina victims in N.O, who knew you would be a hurricane victim yourself so soon after!
