May 20, 2011 MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan — An estimated $1.2 million worth of earthquake and tsunami relief supplies collected in the Pacific Northwest are finally en route to Misawa Air Base, where they will be doled out to orphanages and hard-hit coastal areas. The donations had been stuck in limbo in a Tacoma, Wash., warehouse since early April as drive organizers with “The Ron and Don Show” on KIRO-FM (97.3) tried to arrange for the U.S. Air Force to transport everything via cargo plane directly
