Couple stays behind to help international students
The Sea Coast Echo published this article about a couple that braved Hurricane Katrina to stay with international students at St. Stanislaus College. The story is the first in a series of articles containing first-hand accounts from Katrina survivors. Below is a portion of the story:
" Although Mick and Adrienne Quinlan of Waveland may have preferred to evacuate before Katrina hit the Coast, as residency program supervisors at St. Stanislaus College, they were duty-bound to stay behind with the international boarding students who weren’t able to return to their homes ...
Although St. Stanislaus is built like a fortress and was built to Hurricane Camille standards, most of the school’s boarding students were evacuated by 5 p.m. on the Friday before the storm as a safety precaution. Still, 46 students - mostly from South America, Mexico and Korea, were unable to get back home and were forced to stay at the school along with the Quinlans and a handful of other faculty and staff."
