Publisher of Hancock Reporter volunteers, takes pictures, volunteers, takes pictures...

The Panolian (Panola County) reports on The Hancock Reporter's publisher/volunteer: "When the winds of Katrina subsided, T. H. "Doc" Toups found he had been blown into Panola County for refuge. Toups and his wife, Margie, publish The Hancock Reporter, a monthly journal of county news, in Bay St. Louis. Or they did. . . . (Toups) has continued to chronicle events there with pen and camera. As he dutifully photographed (volunteers) unloading supplies, he said he felt like he needed to pitch in with more than his camera. At intervals, he put the camera down to unload supplies with the other men, most of whom stopped for an occasional break about as often as Toup stopped to make photos."

The Biloxi Sun Herald has several audio clips (Real Player) of Toups describing the destruction of Waveland.
