Stretching out to get blood

Published 12:00 am Friday, March 15, 2002

Doug Amacker, general manager of River 101 country radio station, stretches while holding a cup of coffee in his hand this morning after spending the night on top of Post Plaza on North Frontage Road. Amacker climbed to the roof at noon Thursday and planned to stay until workers from Mississippi Blood Services in the blood mobile, at bottom right, collect 202 pints of blood from donors. Seventy-one people donated blood Thursday. (The Vicksburg Post/MELANIE DUNCAN)
