Face of Despair

Sam C. Pierson, Jr.

Houston Chronicle

Depth of despair is shown in man's face as he gets ready to board a rescue boat from the floodwaters in Hurricane Carla. He and his wife waited until the water was over the window sills of their home before leaving. He had lived at same location all his life and this was the first time he had been forced to leave.
