Service in the Bay Saint Louis community
While the time that we spent in Bay Saint Louis was the longest stay for the duration of our trip, I feel that it really was not long enough for our group to be able to fully understand everything that had happened to the citizens of this area. While in the beginning, I really felt that scanning postcards for this group was a really strange thing to be doing, but as I sat at the scanner and looked at all of the places that were pictured in the postcards, I realized “This is their history and this is the only way they still have a connection with these places” because most of the pictures were of homes, marinas, camps and other places that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
I really began to understand the significance of this town and the way that one of our hostesses explained the meaning of community and just everything that this town had held dear but was attempting to rebuild.
On a lighter note, I think that Dr. Sutton should petition the university to get a cat like Wheezy.
