NORWALK — The day the earth shook so violently and so many buildings and worlds came crumbling down, Paul Louikenson was only eight-years old.
It’s a day burned forever into his mind, a time the Brien McMahon junior football player can’t escape from even as he stood on Casagrande Field with a whole new family he never even knew existed in January of 2010.
“It’s not a day I like remembering or talking about,” the player the Senators call “Lucky” said of the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck his native Haiti, killing more than 100,000 people. “I know it was just one day, but that one day destroyed a lot of people’s lives and took away a lot of people’s hopes.”
