   Many of you know Myrtle from her great support and ongoing participation here for the last several years, and perhaps from her roles in other capacities as a lung cancer survivor doing extremely well for years and years.  She also offered incredibly touching and encouraging feedback to me for my efforts long before there was a GRACE, and even just as the prior site OncTalk was just getting off the ground in 2006.

   So here’s a hat tip and special thanks to Myrtle for all she does here and elsewhere.

   She lifts spirits not only through her own encouraging history but by dedicating a huge amount of her time to helping other people with lung cancer.  She and another lung cancer survivor in St. Louis founded the Lung Cancer Connection, a non-profit dedicated to providing awareness, education, and increased funding for lung cancer, along with support for people affected by it.

   Our moderators each have their own complementary talents that they provide to this community, and I know that everyone here feels as grateful as I and the other faculty do that we have such compassionate, knowledgeable, and resourceful people helping to provide answers and support.  Having Myrtle join their ranks is very fitting, if also long overdue.
