Crystal Kudos to Genevieve from VETS

as their first donor!

Craig Venter was one of our guests at the VETS Gala last night. I have worked with him for almost a decade, but connected at a new level last night I had read in his autobiography that he had tried to commit suicide in Vietnam, but I had never really asked him about it before. He was a front-line trauma medic for fallen comrades. He turned 21 doing this on the field of war. Just a child. It was a very powerful and poignant memory, evoking uncontrollable emotion in the retelling.
