Keene State Talks about Anna Belle and Emile

One of our professors at Keene State took a class of students down to New Orleans to complete a service learning project. In a service learning course you use service projects as a means to reaching the learning outcomes for a course. In this case it was a sociology course. The editor of our student newspaper was one of the students in the class, and he made arrangements with mom and dad to conduct an interview. It turns out that the parents hosted all 10 of the students for breakfast.

Last night, the students presented their research and information about their trip. One of the segments they put together was "Meet the Netzhammers." While there were a few technical difficulties, it was very interested to hear them talk about our story. I'm working on getting a copy of the video to either post here or get around to the family.

They were really happy to have had a chance to get to know ma and pa.

They also cooked a New Orleans meal for the crowd as a fundraiser for the city. Excellent red beans and rice.
