Urgent help needed for Dr. Vadim Vatsuro

[Stephen L. Baehr]

Several days ago I was contacted by Prof. Mark Al'tshuller of the
University of Pittsburgh regarding the famed Pushkinist Vadim Erazmovich
Vatsuro of Pushkinskii dom. Dr. Vatsuro has lung cancer and will need three
sessions of chemotherapy. The Academy of Sciences will pay for the first
session, but they will be unable to pay for the remaining two, which cost
$1,500 each.

I am writing to request that as many colleagues as possible help in this
attempt to save Dr. Vatsuro's life.  Given the high cost of the
chemotheraphy, many donations will be needed; all help would be appreciated
as quickly as possible.

Please send contributions (marked "For Dr. Vadim Vatsuro") to:
        Prof. Alexander A. Dolinin
        2303 Keyes Ave.
        Madison, WI 53711
Thanks.
    Steve Baehr
