I gave a video interview to the Voice of America. I just got word from the reporter that it's being published.

"
Tulane Engineering student and 11th-generation-New Orleans native
Clay Kirby says he hopes to apply some of his knowledge to help rebuild the city once he graduates, later this year. He attended the University of Mississippi last semester, but he never saw that as more than a temporary option.

"Being from here, it is a part of who you are when you grow up in New Orleans. That is the best way I can describe it. It is a piece of who you are. When you grow up in New Orleans, you are part of a community with roots that go way, way back," said Kirby. "I grew up in the Quarter [French Quarter] and Uptown. So, when you grow up in Uptown, or Lakeview, or New Orleans East, or the Lower Ninth Ward, or the Quarter, or any neighborhood within New Orleans, it is a part of who you are."

"

No real reference to the engineering cuts, however. I'll see what I can do to do a follow-up.

Notice the engineering cap and the FAITH Saints shirt.
