Re: Charity
Bill: I attended a concert of the Irish Tenors here in New Jersey yesterday. It was an early St. Patrick's day gift to my wife, who isIrish-American. At the end of intermission, the manager came on stage to thank severalpeople, and then he did a very nice explanation of the St. Baldrick'sDay charity and asked us all to support it is we are asked. I was happy to tell my wife that I was supporting a fellowphotographer who was getting shaved. . .
