yes, that s what i was told at one time. and this is ridiculous. i had to do all the things that i have learned i ve learned on my own through talking to reporters and looking on the internet, doing my own research. but as far as our government, the u.s. government did nothing to help me except one person at the state department, that was mr. jack markey. he was the only help i received. but our u.s. government did nothing as far as the search for my brother s plane. they had asked the african authorities for their help to locate my brother s plane. but as far as all the help that the passengers on this plane, their family members are lucky. because they have almost the whole world searching for them, for this plane. i didn t have that luxury. i had to do the searching myself. that must be an agony most of us cannot understand. michael verna, he is an aviation trial attorney, won a $23
