Fred,
You have a giving heart, helping others is not a choice for you it’s your existence. I spend 70% of my free time helping others, and there lies my reward – seeing people enjoying and living with contentment, with peace.

Everyone of us makes up the whole – without Technics there would be no forum – Without Fran there would be no Jams – and without Fred we would be searching forever to find and organize.

You have made many friends who do appreciate you and your work. If we take people like Bill Norre, Technicsplayer, Rog, err, no forget Rog ha ha – and you what is left would not function as well, you are all givers and much appreciated.

If your mission work needs more of you and you feel called to do it, by all means do it with all you have. I have learned to give and keep a low profile, to stay humble, the giving in itself and the pleasure I see in others is my reward. You started your project and made dollars as your reward for you time spent – there is more to it than dollars as important as they are.

I am going to your sight and find something for me to learn about giving to others.

Take good care, John C.
