<div>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'd like to pass on some rather sad news. GALA member, Laurel Kamada (Author of "Hybrid Identities and Adolescent Girls: Being "Half" in Japan) suffered a severe stroke in early March while visiting her family in Seattle and has been in an intensive care unit
ever since. She is recovering little by little every day, but it will be a long uphill climb for her.<br>
<br>
I know that she has many friends and associates in GALA. If you would like to send Laurel a card, please send it in care of her brother, Ed Nudelman/ P.O. Box 25339 / Seattle, WA 98165. If you would like to send an email message for her brother to read to
her during his daily hospital visit, please send it to <br>
<h5><span><span>enudelman at <a href="http://msn.com" target="_blank">msn.com</a> (with the @ mark and no spaces).</span></span></h5>
Please keep Laurel in your thoughts and prayers.<br>
