Gehry, who is in Japan, said that while he is currently more concerned for the people than the buildings, he "would be in the fight to rebuild the city with you." read
Ohr-O'Keefe Museum structures on Biloxi's East Beach Boulevard sustained major damage, but hopefully could be salvaged. The Pleasant Reed house house, built around 1887 by the son of a freed slave and preserved, moved and restored as a component of the new Ohr museum, is obliterated. Only a brick chimney is identifiable.
What's unknown to date is the status of all the Ohr pottery that was on display at the museum.

maybe gehry means free of charge change orders. or knows where the sunken pirate ship is, loaded with gold coins in clay vessels.
sure thing frank.
the statement reminds me, the lawyer on tv commercial who points a finger at you and says 'i'll fffight for you'.
to his credit, mr gehry is a resourceful pitcher. you don't know if it is going to be the new roof of superdome or andulating titanium clad levees. he'll celebrate the rebirth allright.
to his credit, he did help build santa monica pier after the storm in 80's.. for a fee of course.
just watch for the 'pledge express' running out of steam in a few mounths, and concerts for the next disaster.
i have seen numerous checks flying on tv presentations, enlarged and pasted on foam core boards and i have decided to donate when i read the first article somewhere in coming months, saying 'no one gives anymore for hurricane victims'.
you wanna bet? i'd love to lose this one..
