My Mistake

Neither I nor Patrick Gerdes realized that the plane from the Glens Falls Hospital is not going into Port-au-Prince. It's going into Santo Domingo to serve at a border clinic. We thought this was a different plane. So we won't have those meds after all, but at least someone will.

The flood of people wanting to go to serve in Haiti and those willing to give supplies (not Saratoga Co. Hopital, of course) is immense. And all through a single-engine piper with an exhausted pilot???

Jon was almost screaming on the phone in frustration. He said there are dozens of big private planes owned by wealthy people that are just sitting idly at the airport. Most haven't moved all week. ( I didn't mean that wealthy people are sitting idly and haven't moved all week, by the way, I meant the planes. See? Grammar is important after all.) :)
