Dear Dr. Grima, Thank you for the letter listing available places to donate in my area. I donated red blood cell platelets last Sunday. I couldn't believe how easy it was, how little time it took and the benefit and savings for the Blood Service. When mailing your regulars again you might want to mention it. Thank you. John D, NY
