[StBernard] Calm before the storm<br>

[Westley Annis]

I sit in my new home and community and continue to read these posts...why?
because in my heart I LOVE St. Bernard Parish and its people and I
truly worry about the future of all of those who have returned.  I
have chosen not to return because of the fear of going through the
trauma again.  I pray that all who have returned prepare to leave when
necessary and not try to be heroes.  Keep lots of insurance and take
all that you value with you.  But DON"T try to be strong and stay if
there is a threat. God Bless.
