Katrina Survivor:  "This is Our Home Now"
Six Months After Storm, Lifelong New Orleans Resident Says He Has No Plans to Return to City

Excerpt from March 1, 2006 Bastrop Daily Enterprise
Author: Mark Rainwater

Stanley Gros, has found work at the Morehouse Parish Relief Center after relocating to the area after Hurrican Katrina.

Gros is among an estimated 400 people displaced by Hurricane Katrina who have established permanent residences in Morehouse Parish.  Gros works at the relief center in the old Delchamp's building, which still serves a small number of people who have relocated to the area.

Odd as it sounds, Gros said the storm "was a blessing."

"Really, it was.  When we came up here, I had no idea what to expect.  But the people of this community--all the churches and other groups--have just been amazing in helping us feel at home," Gros said.  "I never realized haw bad it was down there until I got up here."
