I wasn't exactly sure how to do this, since there are a few different threads I could post this to, so I just decided to start another. Many of you have chipped in to send me (or sent me separately) great gifts for my work on the group submission. Beyond the monetary gifts, many of you sent me cards for my collection. I received a great graded 1979 Topps Jim Gantner from mknez, some Gantners and Younts from Bill, a big stack of Molitors and Younts in CS1's ready to submit from Bryan...along with his old 5x loupe (it's HUGE!), a signed Jim Gantner card from Robert, some autographed Brewers cards from Doug and the list goes on and on. (If I've failed to note any gifts here, I apologize, I received many and I am working from memory while taking a break at work)
I truly appreciate all of this generosity more than you know! It is very humbling for me.
With that said, I am very happy to now share with everyone what I will be doing with the gifts I've been given. I am rounding the cash total up to $300 and will donate it to stown's Livestrong Challenge later this year. Having lost family and friends to cancer, it is a cause that is very close to my heart. Barry's ride is October 24-25, so please contact him for more details if you'd like to also contribute.
Again, thank you to all of you for your generosity. After all, it was everyone's generosity that inspired me to do this.

This group sub is actually a lot more fun than just getting your own grades back, because we're all in it together.

LOL...stop spreading those malicious rumors.
If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
But my love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
Inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.
Craig is definitely one of the guys here I consider a real friend even though we have never really met.

Craig, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. When he told me of his intentions, it reiterated how I feel about this forum. While a lot of us butt heads about different topics, the core of this community is as generous as they come.
