Dear BTL,
I am a longtime friend of Frank and Al's (the couple featured in last week's cover story), and two more sweet, generous individuals you'd never meet. There are not many people who know of their generosity in supporting AIDS organizations and individuals with AIDS. I know of one HIV+ gentlemen whom they hired to work at their store so he would have health insurance. They told him to work if and when he felt like it. I treasure their friendship.
Gary Krawford,
Toronto, Canada
Kudos for couple
