WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Demolition Begins On Long Beach School: "With every pile of rubble scooped up, and every slice of mangled metal yanked off, Eddie Holmes feels a piece of his past is being torn away, too.
'It's definitely a sad time. It really is,' says Eddie Holmes.
Holmes' school, Harper McCaughan, is coming down piece by piece. The hurricane-battered building, means a lot to Holmes. It was where he went to school, began his teaching career, and since 1999, Holmes has been its principal.
'As a matter of fact, the first project was putting this metal roof that I'm seeing coming down right now,' Holmes says. 'So yeah, there's a lot of memories here for sure. Beyond my wildest dreams, I never dreamed of anything like this happening.'"
