One year ago tonight my priest friend, Fr. Red Ginart, was swept away by the tidal surge and the wind of Hurricane Katrina. His body was never found.
Fr. Red was a tough Marine who thought he could outdo the elements. He stayed in his church for the storm which was very near the water. He stayed with elderly parishoners in the church parish of St. Nicholas in eastern New Orleans, who would not leave.
Perhaps his watery grave is even here where I photographed this sunset.
