Dear Tania and Robert, dear Chris and Katie,

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you as well as everyone else
at GCRF ever so much for the last check presentation on Monday! We were all
really overwhelmed and can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate what you
are doing. As always, it was so good seeing both of you, Tania and Robert,
as well as to meet new friends. Chris and Katie, thank you so much for
coming out to Pittsburgh all the way from California!
Dr. Anette Duensing
