I know, I know...someone's gonna say he's a celeb and blah, blah, blah. But if you'll notice, his home is in the 9th Ward. If he didn't get out, I'm sad to say that many more there probably didn't get out of that area when the levee broke.

Another local "celeb" missing is Pat O'Brien's long time thimble man Eddie Gabriel. He is about 95 years old and plays thimbles on a tray at O'Brien's. His Grandson was on last night saying they had not heard from him since before the hurricane.
