Ken,

Upon reading your article, I can certainly understand why it has gone viral. Excellent article -- well written, personal, and very timely and relative. It touches where a lot of people are at, I think, esp. since our baby boomer generation is now aging en masse.

It was also nice to read some of your personal history and stories beyond what we see here. I knew you were a doctor, but in that specific area, not much more than that. To hear about Torch and your other interactions with people was very touching. I think your article made people think, and it did so in a compelling and disarming way.

Congrats on such a good article, and on the upcoming publicity surrounding it.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
