Homeward Bound
Greg Smith is still living in Ohio with his boys after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The plan is to return to the Mississippi Gulf Coast during the Thanksgiving holidays. It is a bittersweet transition because the Smiths love Yellow Springs, Ohio, and so many people in that community. But the time has come to return home. The Smith family will always remember the generosity of their beloved friends in Yellow Springs and look forward to numerous return visits to their other hometown.
