Memory of Mickey
After Hurricane Katrina I was working again for Habitat for Humanity, and Oprah Winfrey developed a plan to build a street of houses in Jackson, MS, for families who had left New Orleans after the storm. This was going to be a week-long blitz with 10 or 12 houses, and we needed volunteers. I invited Mickey and Sharon to come over to stay with us and work. It was great fun: Sharon, as the architect, could identify which pieces went where in the construction. Mickey, on the other hand, could do it all. His (and her) community spirit reached far and wide.
