Hal De Mun of The Bookmark


Reply-To: Bonnie Williams <ridgelandres@yahoo.com>


As many of you already know, our friend and neighbor Hal De Mun of The Bookmark in Dolega is undergoing a medical crisis. His colorectal cancer, for which he was treated several years ago, has returned, in his words, "with a vengeance." He is facing travel to and stays in Panama City for treatment through the public health system. Hal subsists on social security and the meager profits from his bookstore, whose sales have plummeted with the advent of electronic readers, and is unable to afford the associated costs of travel and accommodation.

Not only has Hal provided a valuable service to the community for many years by maintaining a laudable inventory of English language books, but many of you may not be aware that he also has been generous in supporting charitable and civic endeavors such as Bid 4 Boquete, Hospice and Health Foundation, Amigos de Animales, the new library, etc. It now is our turn to support Hal in his time of need. Contributions, large or small, can be made directly to his bank account, as follows:

Bank:  HSBC
Name: Harold De Mun
Account #: 0101036573

No deposit slip is required; just give the name and account number to the cashier.
