Not just in the WALL STREET JOURNAL but a page one left column story. WSJ is a paid site so you do subscribe, you may have to hustle a copy from the library or a friend. Here are the lead paragraphs: "MONTEVIDEO, Minn. -- After Hurricane Katrina struck, Tanya Thornbury spent hours watching news coverage of people clamoring for food, water and deliverance. One afternoon, she broke down crying after seeing a mother clinging to an infant. "I wanted nothing more than to help her," she recalls. She called her partner, Tracey Thornbury, about having an uprooted family live with them and their three young sons in this Minnesota town of about 5,300. They figured they could afford to house, clothe and feed a woman and a child or two. They worried that Southern blacks might struggle in Montevideo, with its mostly white population and harsh winters. But, Tanya Thornbury says, "There wasn't a corner of our lives we weren't willing to share."" Not to spoil the story, but the family is no longer in Montevideo. Bill Dooley (Kenny)
