Job opening - Kansas City

The following post is from my friend Lynea. I'm posting it to the blog, even though I know only a few readers are in Kansas City, because Facebook won't let me post the whole thing in a news feed.

Here's the post: Melanie Hernandez, beloved sister and daughter to Pete, Monique, Cookie, and Bugie, has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease occurring in people with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, a very rare disease.Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (“HPS”) is a genetic metabolic disorder.
