Hurricane Volunteer NOLA

I tried unsuccessfully (I might add) to write this blog in New Orleans where I have been hiding recently (two weeks) as an unpaid volunteer wiring houses for future single parent and girl child in St Roch in the 9th ward. At the time I had just been contacted for a research project about a 1881/1882 hanging in New Mexico which coincides well with the timeline of the bio on Zeke Cortez I have been engaged in for the last 12 years even if my acquisitions editor at University New Mexico Press has just been fired on economic grounds not on competence grounds. One of the hanged is named Espinosa and that fits my biography history to a high degree of coincidence. Anyway thats what was intended to be in the blog but now I am back in New Mexico it almost seems redundant. Still tired from the 24 hour ride on a greyhound bus leaving nola in the middle of a tornado and almost killing or succeeding in maiming a drunken woman standing in the road as we entered the downtown area (arena) on the way home here to Albuquerque yesterday afternoon. Got a lot taken care of today and will sleep like a log tonite. A'men!

So frederick Nolan is doing a projet on an 1881 hanging which took place in NM in 881/2 and I am transported as I sit here in the crossroads missions off in New Orleans

So Frederick Nolan is doing a project on an 1881 hanging which took place in NM in 1881/2 and I am transported as I sit here in the crossroads missions office in New Orleans where I am serving as a volunteer two years on from my original visit here in 2007 to help clean up after the huge/horrendous Hurrcane Katrina of 2005 (August 29th). In the is 'hood' of St Roch I am with a group from the Desire Street ministries off of Higgins and Spain interesection. It is a ministry run by Ben and his wife who minister to local communities. They both recieved MAs from Georgia in theological training as an arts degree. The transportation refers to Wales and mine and FN's origins there/back there in the last century (20th) . THE COINCIDENCE REGARDNG THE TRIPLE HANGING IN 1881/1882 IN LOS LUNAS. The victims included an Espinosa who must have been related to someone n he family I am aready writing a biography on/about in the 20th century who was a navy commander (CO of NM navy reserves and marines in the southwest and NM itself between 1968 and 1970 upon his retirement

I have been here for two weeks and preparing to return to NM by Greyhound (bus) having been employed as an electrical lnstaller in houses here which will go to a deserving single parent and child which is decided by the local CDC or St Roch (parish) corporation the bussiness arm of the parish council...
