Four Days on the Job

It’s Thursday evening, and we on the dinner crew are back to St. Paul’s a bit early to get dinner going. Today we saw real progress. As we pulled up to 2106 Stander Place, caution orange road signs were out on the block “No Thru Traffic.” Down at the house we could see a big dump truck, and a front-loader cleaning up the huge pile of debris that had taken up the front yard. Then all morning and all day the outside paint went on, maroon trim, and tan outside walls – a bright spot of color for a street which can only get brighter and brighter. Later we saw a Bell South truck on the block. They were not there to disconnect anybody’s phone. They were there to install. This is how St. Bernard Parish is coming back. Four days on the job for Katrina Work Team 2007, and we’re good.
