Acker's Residence Bay St. Louis, Mississippi
	IN THE NEWS   The Sea Coast Echo November 13, 2005   -Page 2-   Rebuilding has officially begun in the city of Bay St. Louis.  “This was the first (post-Katrina) building permit issued in Bay St. Louis,” said local contractor Eddie Clark from the Ballentine St. site of Gaynelle Acker’s once and future home.  “It’s a ray of hope for this area, you know?  A little bit of sunshine – let people start seeing some hope around here.” --------------------------------------
	Gaynelle Acker, a retired widow on a fixed income, and her daughter, Farren, a secretary for the City of Bay St. Louis both saw their homes destroyed when Hurricane Katrina swept through – like so many, they had no insurance to rebuild.   The family now lives in their very own Category 5 Rated Creole Bungalow, made possible by Eddie Clark Construction and the generosity of those who wanted to do something to help the region.
