DEE-Doe!

Just a note for those of you that know me from the Young Democrats. I ran across some news about former Mississippi Young Democrats President Rep. Dirk Dedeaux. He lives in Hancock County, which is the next county east of Louisiana. He had to be abandon his home along with everybody else:

Rep. Dirk Dedeaux, D-Gulfport, left his mobile home in northern Hancock County for Jackson on Sunday with his wife, his two children and his mother.

"All the people who went through Camille have some very harrowing stories about that last hurricane," Dedeaux said in a telephone interview from a grocery store in Jackson. "So we're taking it very seriously. I'm afraid that not enough people are taking it seriously."

Note that hurricane Camille happened in 1969, before Dirk was born, but its infamy even effects him.

Dirk is a great guy. I remember him always smoking cigars at YD meetings because he claimed he couldn't smoke them back home for fear of being called "too big." Keep him in your prayers, along with everybody else.
