Brian Bainbridge Memorial Scholarship

Thu Apr 22 08:03:26 PDT 2010

Thank you so much for holding this space to continue Brian's participation
in OsonOs Lisa and all involved.

We are heading off to Australia tomorrow and our family will be attending
the one day OsonOs in Melbourne holding Brian in our hearts.  We have such
fond memories of our family participation in San Fran OsonOs with Brian and
Lisa and so many others.

Will contact you directly with a family contribution to the fund.

love Caitlin.
