The Old Man and the Storm

Mr. Gettridge of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward is one example of the great and humble people of New Orleans. Mr. Gettridge is part of the gift New Orleans offers our country. He is an individual of true grit and determination. New Orleans needs more of his type to influence the lost youth of this city caught up in a cycle of poverty and violence. I always enjoy seeing Mr. Gettridge on CNN when interviewed by Anderson Cooper during Anderson's occasional checkup of the city’s’ progress since Katrina. PBS has now told Mr Gittridge’s story on Frontline. It airs for the first time this evening.
