Hello Ed:

I have attached an article circulating in the Association of Flight 
Attendants web page, CNN, and other news organizations that some of your 
subscribers  
might want to follow. 

In 1989 Captain Haynes story was one that  made the general public appreciate 
 aircraft  piloting skills in ways comparable to even a John Glenn or Chuck 
Yeager. 

I also know people in the United Airlines flight community who have heard him 
speak and they all say he is definitely a true, unselfish individual. 

I am confident  that any help  the aviation community can offer will be 
appreciated.

All my best to you and your family. Keep up the good work.

Hero Pilot Trying To Help Save Daughter's Life 
Some of us may not remember the name of the heroic pilot that saved 184 
people on board United Flight 232, which crash landed in Sioux City, Iowa in 
1989, 
but we all remember the extraordinary actions of the pilot and the others on 
board that day.
The Captains name is Al Haynes. 

Through his actions, and the help of his crew, a tragic loss of life was 
minimized. Now again Al Haynes is trying to save a life, the life of his 
daughter. 
After dealing with the deaths of his wife and son, he now faces the illness 
of his daughter, who was diagnosed with aplastic anemia two years ago. 

Al’s daughter, Laurie Haynes Arguello, 39, has undergone two years of doctor 
appointments and transfusions, but now needs a bone marrow transplant. 
Fortunately, she has a donor, but does not have the more than $200,000 needed 
to pay 
for an operation, which is not fully covered by insurance. Laurie and her 
husband have been together for 20 years and have a 9 year old son, and has a 
lot 
to live for.

Her supportive friends and family, including her father, Al Haynes, have 
launched a fund-raising campaign to save her life.

Captain Haynes says other than dealing with the recent deaths of his family, 
and now his daughter’s illness, his greatest challenge was overcoming the 
survivor’s guilt he felt after the crash.
