….In Madison, Lester Dore hadn’t forgotten the small Louisiana towns he grew up in and visited as a child. He felt as if a loved one had been struck at the news of New Orleans’ flooding, he said, and soon realized that the marsh towns were becoming inundated with evacuees after Rita struck.
….Dore tapped in to his community – the Madison Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, the UW School of Nursing, where he works as a graphic artist, and friends and family members – for resources to help.
