We are devastated by the loss of our board member Andrew Gross who was the first person to sign up for keeping literacy alive. You will be missed. Your kindness, your strength, your friendship to all of us! You fought a long and hard battle with your illness this past year and we marveled at your gratitude for life.

Some of our favorite of the many moments of the past 12 years: We love the one where James Patterson (our honorary Chairman) is holding up a "Mitch on a Stick" of Mitch Albom whose plane was late so we made him feel like he was with us. Note: Andy talking with Ben Bradlee Jr. and Jim Patterson in that photo. And with Linda Fairstein and our founder, Lois Cahall, at her book party. Bottom right, Andy with fellow board members Lois, Leigh Haber and Stuart Woods. Please keep writing and reading alive in heaven. If there's anyone with the determination to do that, it's YOU Andy. Today Palm Beach has a huge hole in its heart. God speed, to you, our friend.
