[Dixielandjazz] Pat Cooke in New Orleans

[Don Gumpert]

Just received a phone call from Pat, he is still at his friend's home in 
Metairie, Louisiana.  The power trucks are in the area so there's hope 
they'll have power in the next week or so.  He has found out that his home 
suffered damage, the lower floor had about 3' of water and part of the roof 
is gone.  Fortunately, Pat took some of his instruments and they are safe. 
Unfortunately, he won't be allowed to go there for some time.
Regards,

Ft. Walton Beach, FL (where the only thing we had was lots of rain and wind, 
no damage)!
