[As the story goes, Reba agrees to take in a puppy lost in the storm. The pup's owners find it by way of an Internet posting, and a little boy and his grandma come to see it. However, since they're staying in a shelter, and the dog isn't allowed in the shelter,] Reba invites them to stay in her house, ... and the numbers keep growing until soon we have a large, beautiful black family camped out all over Reba's house. |
[Rich says they came up with an ingenious way to resolve the family's plight and help real-life hurricane victims, too.] One of Reba's great loves is her work for Habitat for Humanity, ... So that's how the family ends up getting relocated to New Orleans. In this episode we're keeping awareness of the hurricane survivors alive and promoting one of the solutions. We'll be running PSAs for Habitat and Whirlpool, a company that is a great contributor to Habitat. |

These people are all dedicated to athletic health care, and that's what I try to do in my community. |
I sincerely believe that this is the last chance to keep this island community, older than the nation itself, from slipping away into history. |
It's stuff I've collected or purchased at auctions, |
My favorites are probably some pictures of Coach Mac (former LSU football coach Charlie McClendon) at different events, ... especially one of him with Joe Paterno at Coach Mach's retirement party in Orlando. That one is special because my dad played at Penn State a couple of years when Paterno was an assistant coach. Paterno was my dad's hero at Penn State. |
