Summary: My Friend, Madame Mellon
Review: W. Larimer Mellon, and his wife, Gwen Grant Mellon, the author of this book, were a wealthy (he was the nephew of Andrew Mellon) couple who read about, visited, espoused, and live (she is still alive-he is dead) the spirit of Albert Schweitzer...compassionate care for the poor of the third world. I have worked at their hospital, Hopital Albert Schweitzer, in extremely rural Haiti several times in a medical capacity. I have seen what a truly good spirit can do for others. I wish I, as well as all of us, had the spirit, the commitment, and the love of others given by these two special people. This is the story of their strange journey to Haiti...well written by a beautiful worman, now in her late 80's. Buy this book...you'll love it, Gwen, and Larry as I do.
