Delgado Community College Funeral Service Education students Shana Hickerson and Lyndsey Douglas try to prop up a headstone on a badly maintained grave at Holt Cemetery in New Orleans Saturday, February 28, 2009 during a clean up sponsored by Save Our Cemeteries that continues the work done by the Funeral Service Education students at Delgado Community College to clean up the neglected city owned cemetery. Any bones found were reburied.
Students from Delgado began cleaning up the cemetery as a class project last year and Saturday they were joined by volunteers from the Navy at NAS/Joint Reserve Base in Belle Chasse, Lusher High School, Brother Martin High School and community volunteers to help weed, pick up trash, straighten headstones.

Reality check...
~I would like some straight up advice on New Orleans, I have some ideas, but more information is always good. I'm considering moving here for school and life experience. I've looked over some of the recent posts and read some of the memories.
I have questions, if anyone is interested in answering them.
