[Old and Reliable]

I would 100 times more prefer to donate through your organization John- I won't get "political" here, and I appreciate former President Clinton heading an appeal for funds to aid Haiti- as on National TV- But I am more trusting of your stewardship here than any Gov't related operation, at least for now.

I went down from our Church with a few other 'retirees" also skilled in carpentry and construction, both to FL. after the 4 hurricanes hit, and later after Katrina- and some, not all of course, of the government efforts to help were bogged down in red tape-fact of life I should guess.

Please keep us all posted as you can on this and what we can do to bring effective help to that island so devastated by the earthquake-- FM
