Even though I have not talked to him personally, Daniel is now in Mississippi safe and sound. I believe he has officially started helping to rebuild the Biloxi community with the other Kent Staters who chose to spend their Spring Break 2006 cleaning up in the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. I must say that it is quite remarkable that so many students from Kent State have passed over a Spring Break on a beach or just sleeping in to help those in need. I am impressed and am very proud of my little brother. If you haven't heard, supposedly the number of students going down to Mississippi from Kent State has broken a world record for number of volunteers helping in a single act at a single point in time (or something to that effect). So all those years of Daniel rattling off statistics from the Guinness Book of World Records and now he will actually be one of those world record holders. I find that quite humorous. Can't wait until he comes home and we will hear all about it.
