A couple people e-mailed me an NPR story about a reunion concert of the punk band Dismemberment Plan to benefit Callum Robbins, the son of the band’s former producer. Callum has Type I spinal muscular atrophy and his parents are facing steep medical expenses for his care. Callum’s parents make a good impression in the story as well as on the blog they’ve created to share news about Callum. They are clearly devoted to their son and take great pleasure in describing his discovery of new foods or his mastery of a new word. And I like this quote from Callum’s dad: “[Callum] stands a very good chance of being a really bright, sociable, awesome guy.” Best of luck to all three of them.
