Missing: Kelly & Paul Fabre?
Hi, My name is Dori Chatelain, I belong to a computer group called Chihuahua People. We have a member Kelly that is married to Paul Fabre (WE are thinking that this is his last name) He has a tattoo shop close to Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We haven't heard from her since the hurricane hit and we are worried about her and her family.
I have been looking on all the websites but haven't seen any Fabres on there...We are hoping that they are ok. If you know these people and there status. please email me and let me know...
Kelly will know me as Gadget's mom from chihuahua people.
I am praying every day for their safety..
Thank you very much,
Dori Chatelain

Found: Henri Montagu - Electric Expression; Found: Crew of Electric Ladyland; Found: Walt - Freaky Tiki
Henri Montagu who owned Electric Expression in New Orleans is safe and headed to work for Billy Naylor in Memphis.
I believe the whole crew from Electric Ladyland in New Orleans is working at Mom's Tattoo in San Francisco temporarily because they were there for the convention.
Walt from Freaky Tiki (I think) and his family are safe and going to work for Tony Alevis.

Found: Please Help Identify Man with Crown Tattoo on Forehead
I was searching through the CRAIG'S LIST Katrina missing persons message posting site, and found posting about a black man with a crown tattoo on his forehead. Apparently he had a stroke and cannot communicate who he is to the people who are caring for him now as a John Doe until they can find out who he is and find his family.I wonder if any Tattoo Artists who might contact you might have created his crown tattoo or if he may have been a Tattoo Artist himself. According to the person who posted the info he is at The Oaks Nursing Center in Monroe,Louisiana. 318-387-5300. He is defined to be middle aged which could mean in his 50's. They also mentioned he was found in New Orleans. Sounds like he had a rough time of it, but he is alive. Hope you and others can help him be identified because of the crown tattoo on his forehead. Best wishes to you and all you are trying to help.
Sincerely, Anne Minnick
