This is Barbara Puder, and I sing in the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, through which I met melania and Ted. Today I used Ted's tragic loss and the feelings of his family to counter the argument that criticizing the government for it's war-like actions means I'm unfeeling towrds the victims of the terrorist actions. I thought you would appreciate that I used Ted's memory to invoke the call to peace.

Keep up your very necessary work. You are in my prayers every night.
