just wondering...

Am currently writing a report on the Sioux City crash, in fact it was the handling of the events that got me interested in human factors/behaviour.

I know the 'story' well yet it never ceases to amaze me how Al Haynes (as well as his crew) handled the tragedy.

The fact that Capt Haynes in interviews has NEVER done the 'why me' act, and comes across as a very modest, humble and truly compassionate man (as attested to by those who have met him and the crash survivors) is reason enough to help HIM in his time of need, as he helped so many others - more AFTER the crash than during, in fact...

Anyway to get to the point I am wondering if anyone knows how his daughter Laurie is progressing, and indeed how much was raised. Also are people continuing to donate for other recipients??

Truly an inspirational guy. All the best for Capt Haynes and his daughter...

PS - that poem was truly fitting, and brought a tear to my eye
