Does John consider only those who contribute to *his* cause as friends, even though others contribute to the same cause in a general way (it all goes to the same basic fund) and have done so for the past 20 years?? I don't think so. For us..........we have been (substantial) contributors to this cause for the past 20 or so years. Most importantly we have had personal experiences in the recent past with breast cancer. As I said earlier to John, our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter......perhaps the most important thing when you think about it. With that said.......please keep the contributions and prayers coming for John's daughter. I know that the emotions and pain that he, his wife and daughter are going through cannot be accurately described in words to those who have not gone through it. Yet I do know that spiritual support (as well as monetary for the breast cancer research) is appreciated. I hope I did not speak out of line John. I was only trying to provide some additional support for a friend. ;-) |

Dan,
I read Bassy's comment as a positive comment about John and his campaign, and those who have contributed. -- Reggie "Dan Krueger" wrote in message link.net... basskisser wrote: JohnH wrote: Yesterday morning the total contributions to the Susan G.

Bassy's comment was about John and his campaign. It should not be
interpreted as anything but support for JohnH's excellent efforts. I am impressed by what JohnH has done, and the support of so many rec.boats readers, both the regulars, and probably many lurkers. The fact that JohnH is doing a good job to support his daughter and breast cancer research does not minimimze anyone else's efforts. I am surprised that Bassy's warm words has hit a raw nerve with some. -- Reggie " JimH" jimh_osudad@yahooDOT comREMOVETHIS wrote in message ...

I called the hq out in Calif. They said the only things that can be used online are Visa, Amex, and Master Charge. Of course, if they're trusting souls, they could do it the same way you did!
