San Diego takes in Katrina victims.Ch 10 news. Is your city taking in any? |
|
Reporting that several hundred victims have been airlifted to San Diego for aid and shelter. They should bring more in. The old Balboa Hospital, 2000 beds, is vacant.
Is your city helping out?

13. They just had a local bussinessman on who organized the airlift. |
|
He was talking of the obstacles he had to endure and pleaded to other local bussinesses to do the same.
Bless him!
