[Dixielandjazz] Hurricane Ivan

[Patrick Cooke]

I have not heard from Norm since the storm, but I will probably see him Oct 
2 when I play in Pensacola wit Don Gumpert's band.  Norm is usually at any 
significant musical event there.  I did talk to Don Gumpert's wife Sandy, 
who lives in Fort Walton Beach, about 40 miles east of Pensacola.  They had 
only superficial damage, which her son took care of in a couple of hours. 
They were still waiting for power to be restored.
      Here in New Orleans, I returned to my condo and found no 
damage....only my tv/computer cable was out for about half a day.  I 
considered myself very lucky.  It was a very strong storm, and we barely got 
the edge of it on the west side.
