Stories and People!
Montgomery, AL - 8:00pm, clear, 78 degrees
A Mexican restaurant somewhere in Montgomery. 6 people, one American guy, 2 American women, a woman from Vancouver, BC, a guy from Toronto, ON, and me a Brit from New Hampshire. I'm the only newcomer, the 5 have known each other for some numbers of days, they have become a group. One - the Canadian guy runs all the logistics for this center here in Montgomery. The two of them have been on bulk delivery of food and supplies all over the Gulf area, and the two girls have been driving an ERV all over Louisiana. As you know an ERV delivers hot meals and drinks to the people and communities, and is really front line stuff.
I don't have time to relate these stories right now s we have to go, but you should know that the CNN, good as it is, doesn't tell half the story. The real stories are with the ERV drivers and other delivery people, the Police, the National Guard and the vital "Line Men" and contractors.
Must close, bus is here, - sorry for this not being well written.

peter....
do they have enough volunteers?
Hi Peter,
I hope you don't get hit with any of the Rita impact. I am sure that this will stretch the Red Cross's resources even more.
Do you see any Salvation Army volunteers there??
