Hi Greg and Harry...

My thanks... As well - I thought, since it's Sunday and I'm finally getting caught up (only to leave again this Wed or Thusday for Haiti as there are a few issues I need to address with food/medical for the folks).. Anyway...

A while ago - a fellow by the name of "Patrick" went with me to Haiti. During that trip, he rode in our old truck - called "the crab" (don't ask, OK?). After his week in Haiti, Pat decided Adrien needed a "new to him" truck... So, Pat stepped forward and we got a "new - used" truck - one with over 130,000 miles - but it is a great truck nonetheless...

Some may ask why in the world I am posting this? Well, I'll tell you why...

Our truck last week was used for:

Picking up food from the airport - and delivering it;
Picking up medical supplies - and delivering them;
Delivering medical supplies to the clinic (fourth picture down - Adrien has an 80 lb. bag he's lifting);
Helping refugees from PaP get to the refugee center;
Delivering a group of doctors from the USA to the hospital;
Picking up a news reporter from Cayes and taking him to the border to the DR outside PaP;
Bringing food to not only our orphanage - but to several others....

BUT - my favorite use?

The truck-bed was used a bed for two families who didn't dare sleep inside at night. Most in Cayes sleep outside as I write this, for fear of sleeping inside and being crushed should there be another earthquake...

John
