RIP Donald Bordelon

Radio is funny, you make mental images to go along with the stories, and sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong. Donald Bordelon appeared on morning edition many times, he was a Katrina survivor in New Orleans, and his voice and general outlook on life always made for an interesting interview. The funny thing is, I thought for sure he was a black guy (big, booming voice; New Orleans resident), so when I was listening to the interview with his wife this morning it was surprising as heck when she said she loved his beautiful blue eyes. Anyway. Give a listen, and they have links to some of the other stories, too.
