Fred & all the other Christmas elves,
Per Tom's running tally on page one, I have a count of $655 so far. This is "probably" between $145 to $45 short, depending of the cost of the two tickets. This is what I see as the running total as of December 7, 2003, and is the count up to the $20 from Ute & Thomas.
We are getting close folks, so for the few that are still not on the list please send a check to Tom & Marla along with your Christmas card, since this is the time of giving for the year
, so open up your checkbooks and let's put this over the top!!
Merry Christmas,
John Russell
