A VERY SPECIAL EMAIL FROM ONE ADOPTER TO ANOTHER...   Lori Kern wrote a great email called "Long Overdue Thank You" to Mark & Helene Schrager.  The Schragers had brought their therapy dog greyhound to visit Lori's husband Barry at Kessler Institute in 2005 while Barry recovered from a serious illness.  Lori recently found the Schrager's email address and thanked them for the visit.  We liked the email so much that we got permission from Lori and the Schrager's to put it up on the website. Please click on the photo for the entire email and additional photos.
