Mary, who listens to WHQR in Southeastern North Carolina

"Of all the stories about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I was most moved by [this one]. I sat in my driveway with tears in my eyes... The story was so descriptive -- I could just visualize myself walking along with her as she viewed and described her town. Bayou la Batre is lucky to have her and her clinic."
