I am fine. Shreveport/Bossier City is in the far NW corner of LA, and New Orleans is in the far SW corner. "Another Country" we call it up here. ha! We capitalize it as "South Louisiana." We do have half of South Louisiana taking shelter here. They come for every storm on the Gulf nowadays. I was going to Target today, but I guess I will skip it, as it is near LSU where there is a big shelter. I bet those folks will be hitting the malls and movies in droves. No much to do in a big gym. I have folks in Mobile, etc., and so far they are okay. I lived in Miami and Ft Lauderdale for years, and I rode out several big storms. It is not fun even when you are in those outer fringes winds. Thank you very much for remembering me, Phyllis. That was nice of you. Carleen

I appreciate the news from LA. My sister lives in Greenwood just west of Shreveport. I've found many of us have links to Shreveport since Western Electric, Bell, AT&T, etc. divested. Many Shelby Co. IN people who retired at that point from Western Electric in the mid to late 80s did and didn't have to move to Orlando or Shreveport. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CCarnivale@aol.com> To: <INSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [INSHELBY] Carleen / LA > I am fine.
