Richard Barone back from Louisiana
As we told you earlier, Rich being a firefighter/emt, went to Louisiana and other areas in the south. Well, he made it back safely and especially for his daughter Madisyn's 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday Madisyn!!!
On a more somber note:
Rich told me stories of total devastation and irreparable damage throughout Alabama, Mississippi, and parts of Louisiana. He explained that he worked through the nearly unbearable heat and humidity and his own personal shock of seeing what was left, to help homeowners clear debris blocking entrances to what was left of their homes. Here are a few pictures of what he saw.
Rich did say that the local residents all were tremendously appreciative of them being there to help and that he made a few lifelong friends through this.
We're glad he's back and proud of his work and we're sure he'll tell more stories at the reunion next year.

First of all; welcome back to Arizona, Grandson Richard. We're so happy you came through safely. After watching TV continuously showing all the devastation along the Gulf Coast, we definitely were worried when we heard you had volunteered to go to such a potentionally dangerous area. We're so proud of you.
Madisyn, is just the cutest little three year old, and we hope to see her at Thanksgiving if not before.

thanks for going there Rich. We're proud of the work you do at home and in the South. Maybe you'll post something on the southern cooking you had there too??? I KNOW you had some barbeque!!!!
