Wow!! So get this... Sandra Bullock - the one that is a movie star - who is incredibly generous and kind - has donated A LOT of money to my old high school - Warren Easton Senior High School since Katrina to help us rebuild it. Easton was severely damaged during the flood that occurred after the levees breached all over New Orleans as a result of the Corp of Engineers failure to build and maintain a proper levee system to protect our great city. We have suffered immensely since August 29, 2005 as a result. Sooo...on May 15th, 2009 at Warren Easton at 7:00 PM during our annual Hall of Fame induction, Sandra Bullock will be awarded an honorary Hall of Fame plaque...but here's the surprise that involves ME!!! She is a lover of New Orleans history...and the photographs of EJBellocq and his women of Storyville. So we are going to also give her one of my assemblages of a Storyville woman. I have found a really cool Victorian salvage piece to make this assemblage on, and have been working on this all last week. Stay tuned for a picture of the piece after it is presented to Sandra. Entertainment Tonight will be at Easton that night...so we all will be on national TV too!! Watch for us!
