NC Pharmaceutical CEO flew in Company Plane to NO's with med supplies

[KoKo]

was told not to land with the supplies for SuperDome evacuee's. He contacted a LA State Senator he found through a contact and finally was able to land the plane just as they started to evacute the SD. He managed to give the supplies to the National Guard who said they would distribute it...his physician friend also gave some of the meds to those getting on the busses with instructions.

He was flying the supplies to NO's because a physician friend had been there for a Medical Conference and was evacuated out of his hotel to the SuperDome. The physician managed to get an e-mail out to his buddy at the Pharma Company pleading for help, medicines for people and said he was going to be at the SuperDome.

I can't give the link yet. My hubby just got it from a person who is friends with the CEO...but believe me this is true. I hope our local newspaper writes it up so I can post a link.

Here's ANOTHER example of people using their private resources in Desperation to get aid into New Orleans. We need to start compliling a list of these people who used their own or their companies resources to try to get into NewOrleans to give aid and were turned back. There are many of these stories out there and I'll bet some private stories without newspaper links yet will be showing up in DU'ers home newspapers in the coming days. We need to keep a record for the Bush Impeachment...and so that folks Never Forget...all those who tried while Bush lied. :cry:

3. I bookmarked it....I hope that function still works...it's very hard

finding some of these articles with so much being posted and the "functions" needing to be turned off. I hope folks are also bookmarking when they post and maybe we can get together and compile them later. At least this is out there in internet land and lots of folks from other sites read...so hope it wanders around for a few days.

I hear NOLA is loaded with reporters now.
