I received this THANK YOU letter from Barbaros, and the New Bolton Center, in response to a Get Well Message I sent to Barbaros, while he is recovering from his accident. I was so impressed, that even with their busy schedules, they took the time to Thank me. I wanted to share this wonderful letter, and special photos of Barbaros, with all my Forum Friends.
