The radio station said they would continue to air the recorded appeals throughout their broadcast day.

Steve, enjoyed reading about your trip. May we have a daily summary of your activities? My sister-in-law is in Lafayette, La and a retired school teacher. How can she reach you with prospective canidates for FUMA/Katrina scholarships?
Good Luck

Please call the admissions office with any information that may be helpful to our search. They have cell phone and other contact numbers for us. In addition, my voicemail (434 842 4338) is a number I check periodically throughout the day. The Comfort Inn in Picayune has graciously allowed us access to their high-speed internet lines, so we are able to check email daily as time permits.
As for the daily summary, Brian Garriss is doing a great job of keeping a detailed journal of our activities and sending them off to the Dan.
Thanks for the post.
Steve Macek
