Coleen,
I just found this website. I worked in MS following Katrina because I could not get to New Orleans, Oct-Nov. I was able to visit some of the NO OSU's while visiting in Dallas that Thanksgiving and they told me of the destruction. This is the first time I have seen the amount of distruction.
I was a postulant in 1972-3 in this community and I still have very strong wonderful memories of Ursuline NO. Thank you for posting this.
