The OAKLAND fire is just is so devastating. Everyone at REDEF sends condolences to those who have lost loved ones. We just learned the sister of WALL ST. JOURNAL's BEN FRITZ also died on Friday. Ben is a journalist we've admired for a long time. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with him and his family. In tragedy, Ben had some good advice: "If you have a family member you haven't spoken to in a while, give them a call or a hug or whatever"... CHARLOTTE and GWENYTH GRAY are two beautiful little girls. They were both diagnosed with BATTEN DISEASE. Their parents are racing for a cure. "The geneticist told us there was limited data out there but that this was a neurodegenerative brain disease that would leave our daughter blind, immobile, cognitively impaired and eventually dead between the ages of 6 and 12. There are very few families in the world with this and most specialist know very little about this disease. Our world was shattered." Please support THE CHARLOTTE AND GWENYTH GRAY FOUNDATION. This is something to believe in and fight for... Thank you, JAKE TAPPER... "The Times becomes a print-only newsletter for the elite and elderly..." FRANK OCEAN's "Pink + White" is great to drive to at night when it's cold... Happy Birthday to JONATHAN SHRIFTMAN, BRIT MORIN, CRAIG NEWMARK and ISABELLE STAMBOULI-BITTON
