A Few Words From Chris Gallant

September 20, 2011

Sometimes you have the best conversations in the most unlikely of places.  The other day while on vacation, we were enjoying lunch in a restaurant at the Abbey of Monte Oliveatto.  It was a profoundly beautiful and peaceful setting where groups of travelers sat down to a lovely communal luncheon. Our table-mates asked the age old question….Where are you from and what do you do? I began to talk about Prader-Willi Syndrome and Latham Centers– they became very excited. They were all from California and retired from nursing. They had friends whose grandson has PWS and they wanted to know what they could bring back to this family to assist them as their grandson became older. It never fails to amaze me that connections to the work we do can be found all over the world. Ciao!
