Article Link: Caryn Sullivan - Hope and Humor and Life in the Present

The Midwest is a wonderful place full of amazing people!  One of these great people is author Caryn Sullivan.   I recently recieved a touching letter from Caryn about the impact of the Bob Woodruff Foundation and Remind.org.  Here's an excerpt from Caryn's article:

Bob Woodruff's future was brilliant in 2006. The ABC News journalist, father of four and husband to Lee, secured the coveted World News Tonight co-anchor chair after Peter Jennings died. Then fate intervened. Embedded with an Iraqi army unit, Bob was struck by a roadside bomb filled with rocks. He sustained a severe head wound that should have killed him. Amazingly, after lying comatose for 36 days, he not only recovered, he returned to work, but not to the anchor chair.

On the Road A Little More

OK-- so the long part of the trek is over.  Three weeks for the book and it was fun, exhilarating and exhausting.  I missed my family.  Headed for another few days for the book here on the east coast and then over Memorial Day I will have the time to read your comments and answer them.  I'm so pleased at all you have written and how much you like the book.  I feel a little like Sally Field at the Oscars when she blurted out something like "You like me, you really like me! So bear with me a little longer.  Have patience.  I try to personally answer my "comments" and not have someone do it for me-- so it takes a little longer.  But Im so thrilled to have a spot where you can all share your thoughts about the book.   Ill be doing a reading tomorrow in Boston at Brookline Booksmith at &:00 if you know any Bostoners who might want to come out and say hello.  In the meantime-- Happy Memorial Day-- and remember to sign up to twitter and donate a dollar-- or more to our wounded troops. Go to http://tweettoremind.org and sign up to tweet........ If you aren't a twitterer-- you can just go to Remind.org (this website home page will take you there) and donate on line. If someone risked their life for you-- would you give them a dollar?  I would!
