Yesterday, there was a diary about Jabbor Gibson
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/2/19856/62219
who hot-wired a bus and picked up people and took them to the Astrodome, at a time when FEMA was sitting there with their thumbs up their butts. Some jackass apparently wants to charge him with looting. What idiocy.
But that diary included a number of comments -- including from me -- that we ought to get that young man a college scholarship.
Well, after immersing myself in on-line coverage of this disaster, I wasn't thinking too clearly when I posted "How do we get him a scholarship?" Because it completely slipped my mind that I know someone who can do that.
My sister is involved in a big way in a national scholarship program. I talked to her this morning about it, and of course she reminded me that the first thing to do is to find out if he would even want something like that.
So does anyone have any more information on him other than his name and the fact that he was at the Astrodome a couple days ago. Is he still there? Has some idiot arrested him? Do we even know how to go about contacting anyone at the Astrodome?
I would really like to see this happen for this kid if it turns out he wants it. And if he doesn't, my sister says there are other things that can be done for him -- we didn't get into specifics, because it's a bit premature for that without finding out what it is he needs and he wants.
So does anyone know how to go about finding this incredible young man??
Thanks.
