I am fine. Sorry to hear about the death of your wife. I lost my husband 11 years ago this past March. Life goes on. But, you see, I am an optimist. Just celebrated my 50th anniversary of my graduation from St. Mary's Dominican High School in NOLA a few weeks before Easter. And now I have two grandchildren graduating from high school in this same anniversary year. Neat, I think. Life in NOLA, and surrounding areas is still very very difficult. So many need so much all at the same time - the demand is so great. Patti Anseman Stakenborgh is doing fine, and her home is slowly coming along. She and her dad, my Uncle Norman, finally got their FEMA trailers not that long before Easter. Shame. Uncle Norman's home - well, she is slowly going through everything. I think he is in his late 80's and alone. Having a rough time. So Patti has her hands full. My dad and mom, if alive, would be 100 this August. Wow! The name you mentioned I don't know at all. In fact, have never heard of the person. So sorry. Send me an email at mimihasfive@yahoo.com and let me know your email address. I would like to find out how you are related to us. Oh, before I forget, I remember you and my daughter Malaura Blanchard left messages or something quite a few years ago. Mary Lynn
