On May 13, Garland spoke to us about the increasing anger and despair locals were already experiencing two weeks ago.

Brian Williams...thank you. Thank you for getting it! I'm a born & raised New Orleanian and daughter of a Cajun from New Iberia. I recently used Ancestry.com because of NBC's show and traced my mom's side and found out both her maternal & paternal roots came from France (I went back to around 1603) and then to Nova Scotia and then New Iberia, LA where they are to this day. This oil spill is making angels cry in Heaven!
Thank you for understanding what we have to lose with this oil spill and not being scared to say it on national news. I listen to Garland Robinette and most of the WWL radio broadcasters during the day but sometimes I have to stop cause tears start falling while I'm driving! I love this state and it kills me that this is happening again. Yes, Katrina may have been Mother Nature but a frickin' disaster is a frickin' disaster..no matter which Mother did it!
Again, thank you for being on our side. If you get a chance to come down again, my husband and I would be honored to take you out to dinner or have a crawfish boil in your honor @ our son's house in Belle Chasse 2 miles past the Naval Air Station.
God Bless,
Betty Nowell
