Besides the positive replies and responses of new monthly pledgers/donors, there are some powerful testimonials for Free Republic and what you two do for us!
There are many new pledgers without jobs, pledging to support Free Republic. There are "old" pledgers without jobs, and they are maintaining their pledges!
All day I have received personal and moving Freep Mail from new and old pledgers! Some have been right from the hearts of the great Freepers! I will not violate their confidentiality, but I will say that you two are loved by many! I hope that doesn't embarass you. John, this is a double day for you, even your old man said that he loved you right here on Free Republic in the other thread!
So hopefully you can read some of the replies here to see how Free Republic Freepers feel about you and your gift to all of us, the Free Republic Life Form!
Have a great weekend, I will be on preordained family/friend situations and will be off the board for most of this weekend!
Thanks, Grampa Dave. Great thread, great comments and great ideas. And lots of dedicated FReepers sending donations. Thank you one and all. I really admire the determination and generosity, but I would like to ask people to please not send money that is needed for other things.
FReegards to all,
Jim Robinson
