Three generations huddle to make a post-Katrina ChristmasNortheast Booster (MD) Thursday 22 December 2005, 5:43 pmKeywords: Katrina Hurricane Relief , News Articles
by Mary T. Robbins It's an unusual Christmas for Julie Keith and son Jeremy after escaping from Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi gulf coast. They now live under crowded circumstances with Julie's mother. In September, daughter Julie Keith, 42, left her ravaged mobile home in Bay Saint Louis, Miss., with her daughter Ashleigh, 14, and son, Jeremy, 7. "It's hard for everybody," acknowledged Julie's mother, Lil Trumbull, 78. "It's a disaster and you can't expect everything to be sweetness and light when it maybe wouldn't be even under normal circumstances." Keith, a 1979 graduate of Towson High School, is grateful for the hospitality, but would like one thing for Christmas - privacy. "I don't know how long it's going to take for things to be rebuilt in Mississippi, and what we will do." she said.
