#4: Life magazines with stories on Haiti: From Bob Corbett

[Robert Corbett <bcorbett@netcom.com>]

I've been working with getting my Life magazines together and displaying
them.  I only know of 9 which featured a story on Haiti.  Like National
Geographic they are more important for the photographic record they
present than the stories themsevles in most cases.

Below is the list of the ones I know of.  Do any of you know of
issues I am missing which have Haiti stories (and photographs)>

I would appreciate any help you can give me to point me to new items to
seek out.

List below.  Thanks,  Bob Corbett
