This truly is a wonderful first step! I am in deep awe of the progress that's been made in this important effort by so many people--an effort spearheaded by author, documentarian, and gifted storyteller Ms. Heather Quinlan, whose love of people and their stories, tireless commitment, and sheer tenacity is enabling us all to acknowledge and honor so many forgotten souls.
