Kate, I'm sorry if that article upset you or anyone else. I winced when I read it ... I thought of you, your fight, your strength and your happiness. It seemed like an insensitive (and wrong) statement for the author to make.

Perhaps this is a good time for OCF to write a letter to the editor of the magazine ... this magazine is owned by the Chicago Tribune and it might be a good access point to the paper, too.

Brian?
