RE: COMMON Education Foundation (CEF)

["DebbieKelemen" <DebbieKelemen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I met the man and he definitely touched my life.

  He went out of his way to answer a question for me I had posted on this
list.  He personally called me.  When I didn't get right back to him, I
couldn't believe he was calling me for something, he kept trying.  He then
spent time explaining stuff to me for a backup process that I was working
on.  He didn't have to go to all that trouble but he did.

People like that don't come around every day.

I've never met the man, don't even know what he looks like, and never
attended Common.  Yet, I so appreciate this "list", and so CLEARLY feel
the love for Al Barsa, that I would feel honored to contribute to a
memorial.

Gz, even I would have to say something nice about COMMON if they were to
do that.  Simple, costs COMMON nothing, and yet honors someone who has
contributed more to the organization than most.

Kudos to Tommy for a brilliant idea.  Hope the board thinks so, too.
