I'm Not Much For Gloating ...but *LINK*

Jim Shaver - Oakville, Ontario

>Hi,

I thought I'd share this story with you today. It's not really a gloat but it's about a project I started awhile ago, I had no idea it would make the local paper, the front page at that!

Anyway, it's a message, you can make a difference in someone's life, if you look hard enough it will amaze you in how rewarding it can feel.

:-)

take care,

Jim

Well Deserved Recognition

>Hey Jim,

That article is a well deserved recognition for what you are doing.

I am blessed to count as fine a person as you as my friend. It's extra cool to have one of your pens too! :)

My best wishes,

David

Brilliant!

>What a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do. My grandson was in the Iraq "area" for a year. He told us of people like yourself who sent letters, cookies or something of themselves and how much it meant to all who were lucky enough to receive these items.

YOU are a "special person"!

>Jim, your project in honoring the Peacekeepers is fantastic! When you first told me about it I was so blown away. It's really picking up speed now and I am so thrilled to know that some of my pens are on their way to some Canadian Soldiers! Very cool!

Thanks for all you're doing.
