DR. TOM GOES TO MEXICO.

The medical care trip to outside of Chihuahua City was cancelled earlier in April due to traveling concerns regarding the violence in Mexico. They had gathered 40 to 50 volunteers and $100,000. in medical supplies. These folks have been going for about 30 years so it was very disappointing.
Just got a note from Dr. Pruett that eight people (including him) are flying by private plane (a King Air) to Guerrero, state of Chihuahua, Mexico for a short 3 day clinic. YAY!
Check out the airstrip. The note says: elevation per WAC chart is 6890'
official measurement per chart 3700'
onsite measurement comes to 4500'
whatever that means.
