This was our family home since 1969. We lost our first house in Hurricane Camille, just across the street there.

Total devastation. There's nothing left. Waveland was a beautiful town. It had just bounced back from Camille. They were planning new streets. People were buying new homes.

I had to force my mother to leave. I sent her (there), where she drowned.

It's like an artist with a clean slate. You just have to paint a new picture. And hopefully, a better one.

Total devastation. There's nothing left.

It's surprising, but a lot of times we've had really talented running backs so once you get down to the goal line, we were able to run it in most of the time.
