From the Buffalo News:
Niagara Falls is a healing place for Sharon and David Gauthe.
The Louisiana couple volunteered nearly two years of their time, helping with relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina.
Now they’re on a different kind of R & R.
The Gauthes were offered an all-expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world for much needed rest and recreation. They chose Niagara Falls.
Or perhaps Niagara Falls chose them.
While they were still deciding where to go, David Gauthe was clearing out a house that had been devastated by the hurricane.
The only object to survive was a souvenir plate of Niagara Falls.
“We’re religious people,†Sharon Gauthe said. “We took that as a sign.â€
This is the first visit to Niagara Falls for the couple, who are in their late 50s and have been married 37 years. They have three children and 13 foster children.

Sue - it’s me Karen - I’m at Mom’s right now. So I’m logged in as her.
Traditional gift - silver! Good for you! That might be a little easier to work with. (sorry Graham - hehe) They sell a LOT of silver and amber jewelry up at NOTL.
My brother and sister-in-law are up there right now actually. My mother-in-law is at Seneca Allegheny as we “speak”. I’m jealous of all of them - and you!!! I’ve been up there in the spring the last couple years…but I don’t think I’ll have time this spring.
Have fun. We stayed at the Embassy on our 5th anniversary and it was very nice - parking was a bit wierd though. 5th anniverary is a traditional gift of wood, by the way.
