Destruction (Continued from page 21) I don ' t know if we could have done it without Joe. He was an integral part of our operation. Without his leadership, things may not have gone so well, Belin said. Pianese said that when he saw the destruction in the Miami area he knew something had to be done. I was talking to the Marriott folks about Miami and Florida International and what we could do, and that same day I saw that Jeanne was urging people to give canned goods to the effort. I figured we should get together and see what we could do. We veren ' t sure vhat they needed but we figured they would need the basic items for survival like water, nonperishable food and clothing, Pianese said. Pianese, along with food services manager Bob Gibson, gathered supplies such as tar paper and other roofing tools and drove down to Miami the Wednesday following the hurricane. Originally, the University of Miami didn t want to become a relief site, but after the damage was surveyed, it became apparent that the use of the facility, along with Florida International University, would be necessary to aid in the effort, Pianese said. Miami mostly needed tar paper to help patch ceilings and replace roofs and Florida International needed clothes, water and canned goods, Pianese said. Pianese and Gibson left Wednesday for Miami and noted that the turnpike reserved two areas at each toll so those helping out in the relief effort could avoid the burden of paying to get to their destination. Everyone was helpful going down there and once we arrived. Bob and I both had friends that lived in Fort Lauderdale so we also had a place to stay. That made things a lot easier, Pianese said, we even made it back to Tallahassee Thursday evening. Although the effort went well, south Florida still required more help. We ' re now working on a project to get supplies to the Indians in the Everglades, everyone seems to have forgotten about them. We ' re going to use all of our resources to help as many people as we can, Belin said. ' This project will be going on for a long time. It involves all of us regardless of vhere we live. There ' s still a lot that needs to be done, Pollock said. K, olunteers fill a storage truck with many needed goods for the south Florida survivors. Shortages in everything from clothing to bottled brought generous donations from a caring and con- cerned Tallahassee and university community. Photo by Bob Gib wn. Hurricane 23
