His wife, Monie, owns new Moon (women’s clothing), and they raised three sons here (one still at Coast Union High School, one in college, one working).

I am seeking donations to help me with the cost of my expenses (flight and provisions) and for supplies for both the Haitians and other volunteers. I’m sure that many of you may have already contributed to the Haitian relief effort in some manner. if you have the resources and would like to contribute in a more personal manner, I would appreciate the help. to donate, you can either mail a check directly to me, or go to flighttocrisisbrent . <span class="webaddress"><a href="chipin.com/haiti">chipin.com/haiti.</a></span>if you would like info for tax purposes, I can get that for you. </p><p>“the organization I am involved with, Flight to Crisis, is dedicated to organizing relief flights to Haiti, made up of teams of what they are terming first responders, which includes physicians, nurses, medical technicians, clergy, engineers, former military, and translators. their mission is to provide services and deliver critical medical, building and nutritional supplies to nine charities on the ground in some of the most dire Haitian locations. </p><p>“I want to share a supportive article from the Huffington Post, which will provide you with some excellent insight into the background and evolution of our growing movement: bit . ly/cv8exZ. </p><p>“again, thank you for any support you can offer.

However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. <a href="/terms">See our full terms of service here.</a></p> <p>Here are some rules of the road: <ul><li>Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. if you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.</li><li>Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. this is a general interest news site. sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.</li><li>Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.</li><li>Stay on topic. only post comments relevant to the article at hand. if you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.</li><li>Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.</li><li>Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.</li><li>Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.</li><li>Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.</li></ul></p><p>you should also know that the Tribune does not screen comments before they are posted. you are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. you also may notify us via email at <a href="mailto:webmaster@sanluisobispo.com">webmaster@sanluisobispo.com.</a> Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. you may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.</p><p>if you submit a comment, the username of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to <a href="mailto:webmaster@sanluisobispo.com">webmaster@sanluisobispo.com.</a> again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.</p></div> <div
