Adopt-A-Minefield

Merna, Alan and I went to an Adopt-A-Minefield benefit Saturday evening at the Galleria. Lynn Bradach's son Travis was killed in Iraq while disarming a bomb. (Lynn's brother, Joel, work's with me at Washington County.)
After Travis died, Lynn focused her grief by working with Adopt-A-Minefield. She raised $30,000 dollars last year and cleared mines from the vicinity of a school in Cambodia. I think she raised at least twice that much last night. Bill Naito Company donated the space, and the Western Cullinary Institute donated food and beverages.
