As many of you in the Rice community know, Michael Pearlman, a 22-year member of our family, passed away on Monday, August 13, 2001. Many of you were supportive enough to donate platelets for Michael during the last year of his life, and for that the CAAM and STAT Departments are grateful.

A Memorial Fund has been established in Michael's honor. A committee has been formed to decide how best to honor his memory. Please make checks payable to Rice University and in the for designate the Michael Pearlman Memorial Fund.
