And Schapelhouman, who, with Carl, has been to the some of the nation's most tragic disasters in the last three decades, including 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, Irma and more.
Last one: Schapelhouman and Kustin in 1991, flying to Hurricane Iniki. (two at the far left). The network I noted in the article is tight and goes way back. It's why Schapelhouman responded w/ everything he could when Kustin said #BoulderCreek situation - his home - was dire.
