Auburn player learns family escaped Katrina
AUBURN, AL — An Auburn
football player who spent days believing his two younger brothers were
killed in Hurricane Katrina and not knowing his father's whereabouts has
discovered that all three are alive and staying in Houston.
Alonzo Horton, a New Orleans
native, said he learned Sunday night that his family members were alive
after calling a cousin to tell them of the boys' deaths.
``He said, 'Man, that didn't
happen because your daddy's right here with me. I was like, 'What?''' Horton
said Monday.
``I heard their voice and the
phone died out, so I knew that they were OK.''
Horton said another cousin had
told him 6-year-old Delorean and Jerry, who just turned 8, died after taking
refuge in the Abramson High School gymnasium in New Orleans. Horton had said
Saturday that his father remained unaccounted for.
He said that was the only
confirmation he had received of their deaths. Horton's mother and other
family members are staying in Atlanta.
His reaction to the good news?
``Just a sigh of relief,'' he
said. ``I can't really explain how I felt when I heard that. I just can't
wait to see them. I can't wait to talk to them again.
``I still kept hope in the
back of my mind,'' Horton said. ``I prayed every night that they were all
right.''
Horton said he didn't know
whether the youngsters ever took shelter in the gym.
``I don't know and I don't
really care about it, as long as they're OK,'' he said.
