From the mailbox
The LRG receives correspondence from members on a daily basis. They come in various forms like donations, requests for information, changes in address or sometimes a simple, “Thanks for the help.”
Occasionally, we get a letter that makes everyone in the office stop thinking about the task at hand for just a few moments and focus on the big picture. Recently, we received one of these letters and wanted to share it with our friends in the GIST community. It comes from a young girl, whose father passed away in April 2008, after fighting GIST for almost three years.
