I shall pass through this world but once.  Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now.  Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!

	Eric Okerblom Foundation Young Eric Okerblom was a remarkable young man with a bright future.  The 19-year-old's life was cut short on July 25, 2009 while riding his bike.  His family says he was hit and killed by a distracted driver.  Eric was attending the University of California at Berkeley and studying Molecular Biology.  To pay tribute to their son, Dr. Bob and Eilene Okerblom hold a free medical clinic in Santa Maria, California.  Skyline President Joe Goldberg uses his medical background and knowledge from his time in the United States Army to help out.  Skyline also does what it can to support the foundation.  For more information on the Eric Okerblom Foundation, click here.
