In Sandy's Wake, Surge of Volunteers
Monsignor John Brown is right from main casting -- a big, burly Irish-Italian priest who has actually mobilized his Belle Harbor, N.Y., parish and drawn hundreds of volunteers from around the nation to this securely knit neighborhood after superstorm Sandy virtually tore it apart. About 4,000 to 10,000 people turn up daily at St. Francis de Salles Church seeking crucial materials -- baby formula, individual hygiene products, clean-up tools -- and an equal number of volunteers have actually answered his call. "New volunteers show up every day," he stated, giving sufferers bear hugs and good humor as they hold packages of meals and water from the bustling contribution area in the church's gym. "People want to do good things. People want to help each other," he stated. "We'll get back. We'll find a way.".

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
