Chalmette Amusement Co.
9/1/05 The following is an e-mail sent to AMOA by Troy Estopinal, Chalmette Amusement Co., Arabi, LA
Even as his own business has been destroyed and his family
displaced, New Orleans area operator Troy Estopinal of
Chalmette Amusement (Arabi, La.) is working to help relocate
50 other families from the areas hardest hit by Hurricane
Katrina.
"Some families have nothing but the clothes on their backs,"
Troy reported. "So if the operators want to send food,
clothes, gift cards, or other items, I have arranged with
Greg Young of Town and Country Amusements in Baton Route,
La., to have everything shipped to his office and I will
distribute it to the other families. These items are needed
asap so please ship next day if possible." Young's address
is 4001 Florida Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70806.
Estopinal said he and his family have relocated to Baton
Rouge, where he plans to set up temporary headquarters as
his business is 95% underwater.
Fellow AMOA leader and Louisiana operator Donovan Fremin of
Delta Music in Thibodaux reports minimal damage to his
business and customers. "Everything is at a standstill," he
said. "No electricity, fuel is difficult to get and there is
a shortage of food and water. I believe my area will be
somewhat back to normal soon. Our thoughts and prayers
should go out to Troy and over a million people without
homes along the coast."
Meanwhile, we have still heard no word from other New
Orleans area tradesters including the Boasbergs at New
Orleans Novelty, the Metairie office of AMA Distributors or
Stephen Genco of Genco Distributing in Bogalusa, to name
just a few. AMOA is concurrently maintaining a website with
information about its members at
www.amoa.com.
