Phyllis' Wedding, Chalmette Battlefield, May 1990.

Phyllis Peabody's family has been in New Orleans for generations. She has lived in the same house since 1968. All of the photos of her family from before 1968 were lost in her aunt's house. Phyllis lost all her photos that were taken after 2001. All photos between 1968 and 2001 were in storage and were saved. Before Katrina, all her family lived within walking distance of each other. Now everyone has scattered, each family member in a different state.
