Katrina Patina

Lori Gordon is an artist who lives amid the ruin in Cleremore Harbor which is south of Waveland, Mississippi. Sharon and Joey and Leslie and I met her when we knocked on her FIMA trailer and offered her a blanket.

What a lady. Forty years worth of hers and her husband's art work was gone. In appreciation, they gave us two coins from his colletion that had been lost in Katrina then found. They called the coins "Katrina Patina" because the salt water had discolored them. I think we will keep the coins.

We were the Christians - they taught the lesson. In their loss, they gave.

Take a look at MSNBC's audio-slide story of Lori. http://risingfromruin.msnbc.com/2005/11/bay_st_louis_mi.html
