Letter: Libby's hospitality seen at CARD picnic

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization, we would like to thank the Center for Asbestos Related Disease clinic board and staff for hosting the community picnic on July 11.

We enjoyed the delicious food, warm hospitality and great conversations that confirmed a reassuring message for all victims that resonated hope, importance of community, and the excellent care given by CARD.

The Libby spirit and commitment to ban asbestos, fund new treatments and research for a cure not only for Libby, but for the United States, was clearly heard and felt.

For ADAO, it is not good-bye, but rather we will see you again soon in the majestic town of Libby.

Linda Reinstein, ADAO co-founder and executive director, and

Margy Johnson Urnberg, ADAO national representative director and former resident of Libby
