First hand, it's tragic. I think a lot of guys wanted to go back a couple days ago and just help, all we wanted to do was help somehow. Our opportunity is going to come when we can help New Orleans. Our job is to bring some joy to our city now that it is dispersed across the country. |

It's a great group of guys, ... This has really pulled them together. |
