"When I heard that this 'Great American Vacation' was going to be awarded to someone in Baton Rouge relative to Katrina, I couldn't think of anyone except Becky. And, of course, when I think of Becky, I think of Keith," Lee Pittman told The Early Show's Dave Price. "They put in so many hours doing so much for so many people. They are just the most deserving couple in the state."
On Wednesday, The Early Show stopped in Baton Rouge to surprise Becky and Keith Frey with a "Great American Vacation."
Pittman says that while Becky was getting friends and family out of harm's way and organizing clothing drives, she was also busy doing her real job placing LSU Medical Center interns and residents in other hospitals and finding them places to live.
Lee Pittman talks about vacation recipients Becky and Keith Frey.The couple lost their home and resettled in Baton Rouge. Their honeymoon plans were washed away by the storm.
To say thanks for all they do for others, Fairmont Hotels has arranged a romantic California getaway.
