Hello,

First of all, I hope that you and your family are well.  We live in
Atlanta but have relatives in the area affected by the Hurricane and
are trying to do what we can to help.

I am trying to find out if there is a corporate contact for the
owner of St. Rita's nursing home in St. Bernard Parish.  Searches for
the owner of the nursing home have only turned up the fact that it is a
for-profit corporation, but not a multi-home owning entity.  I have the
address and phone number of the facility itself, but to our knowledge,
it is under water at the moment.  We hear by word of mouth that the
owners are the Mangano family.

We have a relative (Peggy Martinez) who was evacuated from St. Rita's,
reputedly by a coast guard boat.  We have contacted the Red Cross, but
would like to let the St. Rita's administrators have our contact
information, as Peggy would be unable to communicate her name and
medical information (I understand that she is a diabetic).  Her
husband, Jimmy Martinez, did evacuate safely.  As far as we know, he is
currently still in South Louisiana trying to find her.  We are in touch
with him occasionally.

Regards,
Eric & Amy Ayers  (678) 966 xxxx
