Did I miss the window? No call at 2:30......
I do plan to stay in the office until about 6 today and will be in all day tomorrow as
well. Happy to reschedule.
Because of the snow we depart Litchfield on Saturday instead of Friday so there is one
more day to schedule a call before I leave — first to SF, then LA and onto Asia on
Tuesday —
Hope we can make this happen — and thanks again.

Lesley,
I can appreciate that Jeffrey is
busy and often hard to reach and
naturally I respect his time.
It would be greatly appreciated to arrange a conversation in the
next two days as I myself am
about to leave the US for an
extended period as part of my
work with disaster relief in Asia,
the Mid-East and elsewhere. As
an organization, Second
Response (the initiative of
Fortunate Blessings Foundation
which I founded 16 years ago) is
entering a critical time, a major
turning point made that much
more significant as a result of
our trauma team now on the
ground in Tacloban, Philippines.
The word from there is that our
work is felt to be extremely
valuable by UNICEF, World
Vision, WHO, Save the
Children and many other relief
agencies. We are hearing this
from others as well.
Should you or Jeffrey wish to scan through the daily Slog —
Second Response (with photos)
from the Philippines, click on
the link. The Second
Response home page also has a
three minute video outlining our
work. The bigger site Fortunate
Blessings Foundation, has much
more history and background.
What is pressing now is education-based funding for training and

credible evaluation of our
methodologies in the field and
staff development so that we
can reach more children. We've
retained (and are hoping to hire
in the next two weeks) a highly
qualified PsyD, Michelle Wang,
who has been the prior Program
Director at the VA Hospital
PTSD Clinic in San Francisco.
Can you mention all this to Jeffrey and let me know if we can
have that conversation? For the
17 years we've known each
other (we first met at Stephen
Jay Gould's apartment and then
I consulted at the NYC
residence), we have never
discussed my relief work. I think
he still sees me as working with
people who are dying while in
fact I am focused mostly on
disaster relief.
Now is a time I believe his valuable support can truly make a
huge difference.
With thanks,
Bill
