Dear Fellow Law Librarians,
I hope you do not mind me posting this to the list. If so, please accept my apologies in advance.
Some of you may know that my younger brother, Jay Baker, is suffering through a particularly difficult case of cancer.
I am raising money, in Jay's honor, for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a participant in their Team In Training program. I will be training to participate in a 100 mile bicycle ride, the "America's Most Beautiful Bicycle Ride," a Century race around Lake Tahoe in June, 2007.
I'm asking you to help by making a contribution. Each donation helps accelerate cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and brings hope to the patients and families who are on the front lines of the battle against these diseases.
Please use the link in this email to donate online quickly and securely. You will receive a confirmation by email of your donation and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation.
On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Jay, and myself, thank you very much for your support. I truly appreciate your generosity!
You can learn more about my efforts, see a recent picture of Jay, and make a donation by visiting my Web site:

In case anyone is interested, I am starting this training February 3rd. At the start of training I will weigh about 270 pounds. I hope this will change that, too.
Thank you for your patience and for reading this far.
Sincerely,
Brian L. Baker
P.S. Please forward this email to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well!
P.P.S. If you have any concerns or comments, please feel free to email me at bbaker@sjcl.edu

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
Justice William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court (1939-75)
