How grand. Even when I know YIF is doing great stuff, it’s still more than pleasant to hear other people say so and even put some serious dollars behind it.Thanks so much for this gift (we’ll be sending you a more formal letter but I’m emailing in the moment of pleasure), for your encouragement and enthusiasm for what our students are up to. Lots of people should be like you when they grow up.Thanks again for your generosity and for sharing your spirit.Bob Perkins
