Editor’s Note: Times Chief Photographer Spencer Tulis is spending this week with 26 Finger Lakes residents who are helping hurricane victims in southern Mississippi as part of a relief effort organized by the Presbytery of Geneva.

Three carloads of volunteers from the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Program headed out to work in the exclusive neighborhoods in Gautier Tuesday. Some were from the Finger Lakes and others from Frankfort, Ky.

Among them was Lyons school custodian Chuck Galusha, who helped with roof repairs and other general construction tasks."
