This is abnormal mail for me, and it is not exactly genealogy related, but it is important, it was passed to me at work and I felt the need to pass the info on. If it bothers anyone, please delete it, but please don't flood the lists with replies about it, reply to me directly. Thanks all Jim Williamson We need those of you who are great at forwarding on info with your e-mail network. Please read and pass on. It would be wonderful if 2000 were the year a cure for breast cancer was found! This is one note I'll gladly pass on. The notion that we could raise $16 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that kills and maims so many of our mothers, sisters, friends. Instead of the normal $.33 for a stamp, this one costs $.40. The additional $.07 will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $6.60. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $16,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp out sold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I urge each of you to do two things TODAY: 1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps. 2. E-mail your friends to do the same. Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. ===== Jim Williamson Researching: Williamson, Marth, Kinsella, Case, Pace, Hall, Straub, Fox, and McCurdy (the last until I can prove/disprove a link to the Williamson line) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
