Pic 226Just recieved these pictures from Haiti where KP Alumni have been pitching in with port repair and operations. Here is an update from Captain Brian Hall '84 who is the Marine Transportation Department Head here at KP. Great to see my classmates Don Babcock and Ezra Mead! As for those that were sailors- these I know...perhaps the others as well.

The Humanitarian Aid is brought in by container ship and barge and then lightered ashore by Landing Craft Units (LCU). We are assisting the Haitian people by restoring Port Operations, Pilot Services in order to provide food, water, medical services, equipment and generators.
Please keep the victims of the earthquake in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad to see that the US is able to make a difference for those in Haiti, and that KP'ers are on the ground playing an intergral part.
It will not succeed as a matter of fact, that is what I consider.
