Well.. why should I tell you, take it from her: Dear friends: It has been brought to my attention that some of you have been making donations to the VVAF, the group that has created the Committee to Abolish Landmines, and sponsors the Concerts for a Landmine Free World that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I already knew you guys were great. Now I'm just blown away. These are very troubled times in the world. It is sometimes difficult to look past our own immediate concerns with so much looming over our heads right now. That you would remember the very great struggle of those you do not know personally at this particular time in our history, is incredibly moving to me, and gives me heart and hope. You have long been reminders to me of the graciousness and beauty that we are all capable of. I am honored. love, Patty I think that should inspire those of you who haven't contributed yet to maybe do so :-) - Jen ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AIM: traDMB http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~jcaputo
