My son, Demetrois Louis, SMU Student, is home safe for a few days. He hurts deeply for the people of San Pedro, especially the poor and those who lost their lives. Others can rebuild, but the poor lost big time. They always do, don't they. If SMU had wanted the students to stay on, he would have stayed. It was wise to leave, as they would have been a drain to the water, food, and medical access that the people of San Pedro needed.
