| MONA LESTRADE
How do you rebuild your life when a hurricane almost destroys your home, and devastates your city? Mona Lestrade, from Derry, emigrated to the States as a World War II bride almost sixty years ago. She settled in New Orleans. And was living there happily, until four years ago, when Hurricane Katrina broke the levees. Many people left and many never returned...
Mona told her story to Mark Patterson

Texter: re more social housing...well all I can say is "there goes the neighbourhood". Call me a snob? Fair enough then I am a snob, but I worked hard to buy a property in a nice development along the Buncrana road and now it looks like its going to be swamped by council estates, people dependant on benefits who couldnt care less about their house!
