Putting the "do" In Duhon <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It was Thomas Wolfe who wrote "You Can't Go Home Again," the epic novel. But with apologies to the author, he never met Bulls guard Chris Duhon, either. Duhon hails from Slidell, La. Or what's left of Slidell, anyway. On Aug. 29, Hurricane Katrina swallowed up the lower middle-class town in southern Louisiana. Pretty much spit it out like a large sunflower seed. Slidell wasn't a mess. It was a scene from a third-world country, the kind the United States was supposed to be immune to in the minds of many. Four of every five buildings were damaged or destroyed there. Only recently did hundreds of displaced residents come back ... to no jobs and no homes. To compound matters, a number of traffic signals are out of order ? one-third of the town remains without electricity ? which has slowed recovery efforts to a crawl. When Duhon played with a herniated disk in his back last spring, he thought it was the most excruciating pain he had ever experienced. Well, that was a flea bite compared to the hurt of his hometown gone to hell. "From what I've seen and heard, it's really bad there," Duhon said grimly. "People pretty much will have to start over. It has been a tough last few weeks for them, but that's life, I guess."</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
