Sam Small, 68, of Glasgow, Ky., was on the Coast in March to help install a handicap-accessible shower, re-roof a trailer and work on a small house in Pascagoula, Miss.

It was the relief volunteer’s 25th trip to South Mississippi since Katrina. His first was in October 2005.

He comes solo and links with church groups he has become accustomed to working with. In March, he came for a week.

“I don’t think Katrina recovery will ever be over, officially.”
