It is very inspiring to those of us who don't have the skills but do have the heart to feel great sadness ... but also hope ... for Haitians and their country. When you return to Grand Rapids, please contact me by email, if you can. I live here and am a PIH representative and have been asked by PIH to help with Dr. Joia Mukherjee's April visit to GR (which will include meeting with OAM, I understand). Hope your last days there go well and safe travels back home. Best wishes, Barbara Rylko-Bauer Dear Mark:

I'm so proud that my grandson is part of that effort in Haiti, and that he interrupted his final year of residency to do so. It's no more than I expected of him; he continues to make me proud that he's in my family and teaching all of us every day.
