What I felt Saturday night when I saw everyone there was so emotional. It truly is a family, not a town. Thanks also the other outside of town (Tidioute) who so graciously donated. Once again, thanks so much to everyone. I feel blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. Butch wishes he could have been there, but he sends his thanks to all of you.
