Gustavo -- yes, I'm from UNOS. I am the Assistant Director of Communications. We are treading gently into "newer media" with Facebook pages recently added for our Transplant Living site and National Donor Memorial. That's how I found out about this group. I stay pretty busy but may check in now and then -- certainly let me know if you have any specific questions I can answer.

Thank you so much Aharon. I would be happy to discuss this with Gustavo. I do have to bring every idea to the board. I have just been extremely busy with my teaching job lately and with my daughter. My gmail is KEFlynn@gmail.com. That is my work email address but I simply have not had time to check this account much. At work we have a state-wide conference for all teachers of the visually impaired and blind, rehabilitation workers for Division of Services for the Blind, and Orientation and Mobility specialists at the end of April. I am more likely to check my gmail during the week. I have to enter every email manually from this account and it won't let me cut and paste or I would have sent more people to the site.

I would be very excited by more international collaboration.

Hi Gustavo. Nice to meet you.

I'm an "experienced" patient, so I don't have any liver questions right now.

Cheers!
