Roz Morton, She is for us what Radar was to the 4077 Mash unit. Roz is always on hand to handle the books and keep track of all of us. A super lady, and wonderful person. Ellan Swartz and Terri Helm. These ladies single handily were able to round up and send us over 64,000 doses of powerful antibiotics that we were able to get directly into the doctors with clinics all over Honduras, and in effect literally save the lives of several hundred children.
