"You
know, not even the Red Cross was interested in taking $1 million in donation for
charity from us. We got a nice letter saying, thanks, but no thanks. Every tour
cycle we donate money to a charity and we had wanted to put our money where our
mouth was. When they turned down our money it made me so sad this could run so
deep. You feel like all of a sudden you're poison." - Martie Maguire, Dixie

Arabia, as were 15 of the 19 hijackers.
