I cannot express the gratitude I feel for all of the private correspondence
regarding finding a donated Oboe for my daughter, Robin.
At this point, Sandy North is working on one in particular through a friend
of hers - THANK YOU so much, Sandy & Beth and Sandy's friend Jenny who has
volunteered to donate her Oboe to the cause.
This is a unique case - and I sincerely appreciate how many people responded
favorably to this effort.
We sometimes hear only the negative within our up and coming generation of
kids, I can certainly attest to the fact that there are some great kids out
there - Robin turned out to be 10 times a better person than myself - and
with all the effort and ambition I put into my life, she far outweighs, by
shear determination and positive attitude - anything and everything I've
accomplished.
Finding a concert quality Oboe is a very expensive venture - and as I said
we bought seven other instruments for her over the years - the last five she
learned on her own - I am so very proud of her.
I mentioned the domino effect and now that Robin knows one is coming she is
donating her old one (still in great shape) to our school district - which
has none - for another child to someday use - our school is very small ( her
graduating class is only 38). Resources within our district is very limited.
I also mentioned I would provide a life time of cartoons (or serious
drawings) for the person who found an Oboe for Robin - as I speak, I am
drawing something for Sandy & Beth. A life time of humor is yours.
Thank you ALL..............so very very much.
With gratitude and a "pay-it-forward" thought process-
Sincerely,
Pat, Gary and Robin Holland
