Dear Friend & Subscriber,

The email below is from a reader of my
website.

I don't know what's happened since it was
originally written... but since part of it was written by
someone right there in New Orleans
before, during and after Hurricane Katrina hit...
I think it's important to put it on my site.

If you haven't already made some type of
humanitarian contribution... whether money, food, water,
your time, whatever... it is not too late to do so.
Hurricane Katrina's fury will take months and months, and in
some instances, years to clean up.

Hii
Mr. Halbert....

I know you do not know me... but I've been
reading and following you for some time.

Anyway.... a little while ago, I got an email
from my dad from a doctor who is stuck in New
Orleans at the Hyatt on Canal Street. He was
there to attend a medical

conference. He is a pathologist... and
apparently my dad's friends checked him out thru
a person they know, and I checked him out on
google.com. He seems to be the real thing. I'm
going to copy & paste the email for you ---
you'll note at the VERY end of the email, he
says that they need SUTURE PACKS, STERILE GLOVES
& STETHOSCOPES as they turn the Ritz into a
MASH. It surely seems like that isn't asking
for much, and that it's really needed. Maybe
you know someone who has access to these types
of things - or even know a pharmaceutical
"guru"? I learned many years ago that one
doesn't get what one doesn't ask for --- so just
thought I'd throw the idea out to you. AND, we
would know that at least some of the help we
provide is truly getting to those who need it.
The doctor also provides his email address at
the end - but it's uncertain whether he will be
able to retrieve the message -- he did get THIS
message out, however, and expects to send more.
His original message is from Tuesday at 2:00 pm
(not sure if New Orleans is EST?).
