However, we can't forget the many businesses and governmental agencies that have been affected by this biblical catastrophe. Louisiana is extremely grateful to Bruce Claflin, CEO of 3Com Corporation, for the much needed infrastructure gear his organization graciously donated. If other industry titans were willing to offer Professional services, hardware or software contributions to this region, it would bring expeditious relief to a very devastated infrastructure.

Thanking you in advance for your help
