Dear Dr. Turner:

This letter is to commend you and your emergency disaster team at the St. James Parish Hospital during the recent unfortunate explosion at the Kaiser Aluminum facility in Gramercy. As you know, I have followed the employees who were severely injured on that day. Your immediate care at the St. James Parish Hospital was of paramount importance in their survival. I want to thank you and congratulate you on a job well done. You and the staff at St. James parish Hospital should be proud of the excellent emergency service you provided on July 5, 1999.

Sincerely yours,
