And one of the people we featured in that story was Dee Brown. She's a mother of three from Barrington and is the Executive Director of the Dover Children's home. Brown decided that she had to do something to help those made homeless by Katrina. So she took the Red Cross training. And afterwards she told Doug she had no idea what to expect. "I'm nervous because I don't know what to expect, you don't know where you're going, you don't know what the conditions you're going to face there. There's alot of just heartaches. So alot of it is preparing myself just emotionally for it. I'm kind of a softie when it comes to things, so I've got to find that inner strength to be able to work thru that and to make sure I can make that difference. Yeah, I'm scared." For the past week Brown's been stationed in Thibodaux, Louisiana, about 40 miles southwest of New Orleans. She called to check in and tell us what life's been like for the past week.
