Dear Leo,

Just wanted to give you a little update on how things are here where I live, Las Vegas, Nevada USA.  The city is completely bonkers right now because our hockey team, the Vegas Golden Knights, just won the Stanley Cup (National Hockey League Championship).  The Golden Knights are the first professional sports franchise that Las Vegas ever had - the team was an expansion franchise only 6 years ago - lots of history with that first team.

The team has shown a lot of grit and resilience that I am sure you have (but 10 times more).  The players on that first team are called "the misfits" because they were put into the expansion draft because the other NHL teams did not want them.  Anyway, a huge accomplishment for the team, and the city is extremely proud of them - probably not as proud as the people that know you are though.

Anyway, just a short note from Las Vegas.

I hope you have a great day,

Brian Christianson

Very kind of David to share his family's personal story. Get well and get great- Leo! I was on the Board of Directors of Starlight Children's Foundation for many years. We witnessed a lot of health challenges for children. Best wishes for a great life going forward for Leo, David and his family.

Glory to God, glad Leo's OK!

When my son, Jack, was born and then suddenly had to go to the NICU, a lot of my little notions about technology changed in that moment, too...

Thanks so much Graham! And I hope all is now well with Jack.
