text: People, easy now. . . take a deep breath. Let the process work.  The word is out and folks will be looking in making things right.  
  It might be your son or daughter in a late night wreck who needs many pints of blood. Or, it may be that homeless guy who you never met that needs the blood.  Look at all the bombings going on.  One mega event in Anchorage and the blood bank will be stressed.  
  I have donated twice since the new building opened.  Both times, it was a new person and it felt like I was getting a garden hose shoved in my vien.   And ya know what, I will go again next time I am in Anchorage.  Three weeks ago I did a unscheduled drop in and in a hurry for my flight, they got me in.  The staff was very polite. 
  I am in law enforcement and too many of you are being judge and jury.  Don't worry however, as your kid or that homeless guy is bleeding out, they can have my blood.  
  This will get fixed.  I have no ties to this place.   If my blood is needed in CA, who gives a rats ass
