How Saints safety Marcus Williams became a part of a Meraux family

New Orleans is about 2,000 miles away from Marcus Williams' hometown in California, but one family has helped him feel at home since the Saints drafted him last year.

And the story of how Williams connected with the Grueninger family from Meraux is almost unbelievable.

Stephanie and Troy Grueninger took their three children to Disney World a few years ago, and while waiting in a three-hour line to ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, they met a family of Saints fans from California, the Baseys.

The two families hit it off and stayed in touch.
