We hired them before the hurricane hit, and by Wednesday morning (Aug. 31), they had the place locked down. They acted so fast, before the mold could start growing.

Hurricane Andrew hit and everything changed.

I got a good pitch to hit and I hit it. I didn't miss it like (Wednesday).

We got together this morning (Wednesday) at the hospital and Geanene Marshall, who has been very instrumental in getting the effort organized, suggested the Labor of Love idea. We started calling radio stations and other hospitals. We've tried to reach as many people as we could. We even faxed a copy to the North Carolina Nurses Association.

They've got until 6:30pm (Tuesday), Wednesday morning we start enforcement of the ban.

We had the railroad stabilized, we had the velocity we wanted, then we got hit by this hurricane.
