Over 30 years ago, while we were on shlichus in Buffalo, my wife's doctor gave us a copy of your book, The Fugu Plan, saying that he thought we would find it of interest. We still have the book, and over the years many people have discovered it in our bookshelves and perused its pages. Your interview was fascinating - riveting is a better word, - and very moving. Thank you so much, Rabbi, and I'm sure you realize, that you are still the Rebbe's shliach. Those who bless should be blessed, ie, you and your family, with long life, good health, and to be of service to the Jewish community.
