Oh, how I hoped tonight to write that the containers were released today. Can't do it. The El Salvadoran government went back to work today after a summer vacation, and we hoped that the paperwork would be completed to transfer the goods to Rotary International, a fine organization which has the proper registration and duty free authorizations for importing donations. It appeared that everything would be OK. Sometime during mid-day time frame there was a bomb threat at the headquarters building. Of course, they had to evacuate and send everyone home. In the excitement, one lady had a heart attack and died. AND, the paperwork is delayed again--just when I thought all excuses had been used up!!! "It ain't over 'till it's over!!"
