RESALE'S ROLE IN PROJECT HANDCLASPH Resale's role in Project Handclasp was a considerable one. lt all began in San Diego in September '73 vvhen vve picked up the Handclasp supplies and goods to be distributed in Colombia and Haiti. Resale personnel spent long hours there, in conjunction with the Deck force, loading and storing thousands of cases of everything from baby food to hand tools. The next step in the distribution process vvas for the Resale Gfficer, LT. Wayne Bussey, to find l b' d H iti. As a member ofthe where the need for Handclasp goods vvas greatest in Co om ia an a advance party in both countries, he met us each time with a list of the institutions and organizations that were most in need of help. Then Resale personnel took over, delivering the designated goods to orphanages, churches, schools and hospitals. Some of the delivery locations were far from the Buenaventura and Port Au Prince areas, and this meant travelling long distances usually over rough terrain to get the supplies where they were needed.
