I dislike that expression profoundly. She was attacked and there was nothing anyone could do to defend her. That is not a battle, that is an assault. <br /><br />Changing subject, I want to thank you for your kind remarks about my work. I tried to find a private address to send you this but I failed. I would like to ask you that if you ever have a fund raiser for the endowment I would be happy to create and donate a one of a kind piece for you to auction or to sell or whatever you want to do with it.<br /><br />Just let me know and I will be more than happy to contribute.<br />Again, thank you for your kindness, it is much appreciated.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-54470588489805716652010-01-12T18:29:22.709-08:002010-01-12T18:29:22.709-08:00We can learn so much from children.

I was just contemplating whether to wait for one of our charities to call us (they call every other month to see if we have anything and then pick it up) or to take it over to Goodwill, since I have a lot this time. I've rarely donated to Goodwill, only because the other group does all the work for me, and they benefit people with disabilities. But in Katie's honor I think I will go to Goodwill this time!<br /><br />And how awesome you found a matching piece to your Grandmother's china there!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399324383367077919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-61134107615318130462010-01-12T08:25:51.061-08:002010-01-12T08:25:51.061-08:00Karen, I think she left her money to Goodwill beca...Karen, I think she left her money to Goodwill because we used to donate our clothing, etc. to them. There is a donation station on Bainbridge Is., and we would often make a "drop off" there, so she and David were familiar with what they do.<br /><br />She and David also volunteered at the public library when they were young, and she absolutely LOVED that "job." It was a joy to see how proud she was, each time she went there to help.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-26148721154596329382010-01-12T08:19:57.201-08:002010-01-12T08:19:57.201-08:00Good article.

She obviously left her own good will as a legacy to the world.What a generous girl you have. <br /><br />I also love the Goodwill and find them clean and organized, as you mentioned. I like to buy shorts there! I don't like wearing shorts, so if they don't fit right, I don't feel badly about throwing them away. I'm always happy when I see families in there, buying clothing and household items, because I see the Goodwill serving its purpose. Katie's gift enabled that, too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519140951660677172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-69722408653301888572010-01-12T07:27:39.892-08:002010-01-12T07:27:39.892-08:00This is always one of my favorite stories about yo...This is always one of my favorite stories about your daughter--her leaving half of her money to Goodwill.
