What an awesome article (in the February 2003 issue) about the
Strokes New Year’s show! It’s nice to get a full effect of the
Strokes concert in Las Vegas through the eyes of your writer,
Rhey Lee. Being a huge fan of the Strokes, I was surprised yet
excited to find it in KoreAm. I especially loved the up-close
picture of Albert playing his guitar!
Great job, and keep up the good work!

I read the “Going into Labor” article by Janet Kim in the
February 2004 issue, and was moved by the condition that Tomás
Solis and his family faces with his kidney failure. Do you
happened to know where I could send a small donation for Tomás
and his family toward helping with his medical bills?
My wife and I will continue to pray for Tomás and
his family, and that God, through the grace of Jesus Christ,
may bring healing to him and provide for his family through
these difficult times.
Thanks and God bless!

Ed. — Donations for Tomás Solis can be made care of

CORRECTION
In the February 2004 issue, we incorrectly reported the California
legislators who authored the resolution declaring Jan. 13
Korean American Day. Assemblymember Carol Liu introduced and
authored the bill with members of the API Caucus, and Dario
Frommer and Mark Ridley-Thomas were principal co-authors.
Fabian Nunez did not co-author the resolution. The state Assembly
passed House Resolution 38 on Jan. 12.
