I can answer Lee's question (#14) about why the Red Cross doesn't
handle blood donations in Houston. They don't have a blood region
there. ARC's blood regions are primarily along the East Coast, the
South, part of the Midwest, and the West Coast. Most everything
between the Tulsa and Salt Lake City is not their blood collecting
territory. So Texas (along with New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and
several other states) are not serviced by ARC but by regional blood
centers or United Blood Services (USB) based in Scottsdale AZ.
