1. wiki article.

I started a wikipedia article on Sonny this morning. If there are any experienced editors, it may need some massaging (my first article).

3. A snip
"We found it absolutely incredible that the authorities had no way to get there for four or five days, that they didn't go in and help these people, and we made it in a two-wheel-drive Hyundai," said Hans Buder, who made the trip with his roommate Byrd and another student, David Hankla.

4. We need to track these guys down & get them to the media.
This is proof of the ineptitude and criminal neglect of FEMA and the government.

5. They were in the Durham, NC paper.
AP should be able to get access to the story easily.
