I want to extend a personal thanks to everyone who responded to my offer for the Big Apple chip. I was offering the chips for $3 each and I will donate the entire $3 I receive for each chip to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. I decided donate everything I receive to the fund, including any money received for postage. Many sent more than $3, some much more. Again, thank you, all of you.

Today, I received a 2nd shipment of 75 chips. All of the chips have already been sold. I expect to donate about $500 to the Relief Fund. You guys are great. Please allow time for the chips to arrive, in many places the mail is moving more slowly than normal.

By the way, my friend was released from the hospital, it is a sign that she is on the way to full recovery. I hope to also see signs in the near future that America is on way to a full recovery. God bless America.
