Archival find # 37: “For Parents Day”
I found this saved in my folks’ files
sent by myself, November 1978
Dear Mom and Dad, to say I appreciate
the check is far too mild a word. You are
the most generous people in the world
and you have taught us all generosity too:
with our money, our time, ourselves. You two
are generous in ways that go far beyond
money. I have learned about stewardship
from you, and Grampa, and all your actions
and “Life as Well as a Living” painted on the
silo, even the good ol’ Methodist Church! You
both give totally. I have never been unaware
nor unappreciative. With gratitude, Jackie
