open letter
An open letter to Rail77
I was just looking back at the first letter you wrote on the thread of helping underprivileged children. You asked if any could help, and the little bit you started with. I have followed along with the progress that has been made, DCC, train shows, on up to, and probably will end on Oprah. All this is great, but, I do hope that many understand what is behind the scenes, and the basis for all this.
I am not great with words, but what you have done with, and for these children is truly nothing less than fantastic. True, you are enjoying yourself with all the bells and whistles that are coming in, but too many will possibly not think of the personal sacrifice on your part. I am sure that the time spent on this project has deeply affected your family and social life. I want to thank you from the depths of my feelings for all you have done, are doing, and will do for them.
I honestly believe you have affected many lives, in your school, and in your city. You have also touched the lives of us guagers in a way never felt before. I want this opportunity to thank you for being the teacher you are, and for letting us in at the start.
God Bless
