Tennessee's 'volunteer spirit' is alive and well in Giles County native Tony Eubank, as evidenced by his continuing individual contribution to Katrina relief efforts.

Eubank, who lives in Lexington, Ala., has furnished his 18-wheeler to make 13 trips carrying relief supplies to hurricane victims along the Gulf Coast, including deliveries to Pass Road Baptist Church in Gulfport.

'On the Monday, exactly one week after the hurricane landed, the sheriff escorted us into the area, and we arrived in Mt. Herman, La., with the first load of relief supplies,' Eubank said. 'This was the most touching experience, because these people had been without enough food to eat or clean water.'"
