Hurricane Katrina devastates distributors

Despite the devastating effects to his business and personal life caused by Hurricane Katrina, Lee Eagan considers himself fortunate. Eagan is chairman and CEO of Oliver Van Horn Co., an MRO distributor headquartered in New Orleans, and says his family and most of his employees are safe, and are now dealing with the tragedy, one step at a time. "There are so many issues—emotional, business, personal—you don't know which to tackle next," Eagan said in a Sept. 7 interview from his company's Jackson, Miss., branch. "We're dealing with one problem at a time."
