...Two private charter flights organized and paid for
by former Vice President Al Gore ferried 270 ill New
Orleans residents to safety during a period when the
federal relief effort had hardly begun. Gore responded
to an appeal from Dr. David Kline, a neurosurgeon who
had previously operated on Gore's son, Albert, after a
1989 auto accident. Kline was at Charity Hospital in
New Orleans, surrounded by rising floodwaters and
without power to care for desperately ill patients.

Gore quickly organized the relief flights on American
Airlines jets, took responsibility for funding them
and coordinated with state and federal officials to
get the planes loaded with patients. While Gore has
criticized the slow federal response to the disaster,
he declined interviews concerning his personal relief
efforts. His personal physician, Dr. Anderson
Spickard, who accompanied Gore on the two flights,
says the former vice president "wanted to seize the
opportunity to do what one guy can do..."

???I don't think I've had my head in the sand, but
this is the first I've heard of Internet Al's efforts.
 Kudos to him and others noted in the article.
