Of the many stars that light the night’s of the Grateful Dead family, none have done so more than Candace Brightman.  With loving creativity and artistic passion, Candace brought visual flare to our eyes as we drifted in and out of musical bliss.  Now, in her later years, she has been struck with Macular Degeneration within those magnificent eyes of hers, and it’s our turn to help keep her light show going.  Candace’s good friend and neighbor, Carly Wyman has gratefully established a
