I just wanted to echo the previous sentiments about the Red Cross. It's so easy to lose sight of what's important. I caught myself bemoaning my own situation recently (laid off from my job and dealing with all the expenses of getting my real estate business moving) and I realized that my problems really aren't as significant as I think they are. I've got a roof over my head and I know my loved ones are all safe. I spent time in Biloxi years ago and hate to think of what's happened down there. Maybe we could all buy one less poster or put the profits from one poster sale this month into the Red Cross, it's certainly worthwhile.
Just my 2 cents Paul in Sacramento -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirby McDaniel Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 4:31 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] From Kirby McDaniel at MovieArt: OFF TOPIC BUT IMPORTANT The disaster in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area is unprecedented in many ways. I have many friends in the area and it is slowly becoming apparent that the situation is fiercer than anyone could have imagined. The notion that New Orleans "dodged a bullet" because Katrina turned eastward slightly is deceptive because the problems plaguing New Orleans are manifesting in ways that are suprising. Disease is just over the horizon. The mosquito problem will be enormous. Lots of dead animals. The BEST thing many of us can do to help - and it will be a help - is to make a monetary donation to The American Red Cross. The Red Cross and FEMA are on the front lines of this thing. I hope the movie poster collector and dealer community will respond quickly. It's important to make a donation quickly. The Red Cross needs enormous amounts of money NOW. You can Google for the Red Cross; I'm sure it will be apparent how to make a donation. I have heard from Ed Poole who has found lodging here in Austin -- it took him 18 hours to drive to Austin from New Orleans -- and he and his family are safe. LAMP is online and working normally. We are working to get him connected to the site. Sue has been able to send out some e-mails.
