Gents and Ladies ...

FE jr. is my son's age. My son has a few friends at the USNA. I've been in touch with their families throughout this whole terrible episode. The USNA parents have a VERY GOOD email network to communicate among themselves. We've had conversations about the things parents worry about when they send their kids off to college (usually involved drugs, booze, car accidents, etc.). Never had we imagined a terminal illness such as this?

While speaking with them this week I was surprised to learn that they knew nothing about this church pew idea? It appears this may be a "FedEx Family" effort if that makes a difference to whether or not you contribute this the cause. I intend to get a check out this evening ... I hope you folks will consider doing the same?
