Witness to disaster: Gulf Coast scenes; Visions of Katrina captured
DOVER - There's an image Ron Gough just can't shake.
He remembers two sisters sorting through a mountain of donated clothes, looking for something that fit, looking for something that matched.
It was so hot and it had just rained, sending shots of steam from the pile of clothes the sisters diligently poked through in a mall parking lot.
One of the women had her two young children with her, a boy and a girl, ages 5 and 3.
She pulled from the pile the sandal that matched the other -a pair for the 5-year-old - and was, Mr. Gough said, so happy.
"To know that this woman had lost everything - her job and her home, and yet she was so upbeat when she saw a pair of sandals donated by someone with a generous heart ..." he said.
