We have a special Pharmacist who travels to Cuba once in awhile
but always has our communities on his mind. His name is Harold
Gordon and he lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Harold is always
there for the CAJM and for other groups as well. He gets
donations of samples and often buys needed items at his special
price, then donates them to whoever is available to carry to
Cuba. There is no thank you great enough to show proper
appreciation to this good soul who deserves as many blessings as
he gives to others.
