KATRINA -- One Year Ago Today

All except the most callous of us considered Hurricane Katrina that hit the New Orleans area a year ago a disaster.  How we as a nation and as individuals respond to disaster is in many ways a true measure of our compassion and our ability to feel a sense of collective responsibility for recovery.

Some of us are builders; some of us are planners; some of us are artists; some of us inspire others.
