Thank you to Greg, and USF Reddaway!
Dear Mr. Bigej, Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Logsdon,
(and the entire crew at USF Reddaway!)
On December 8th, 2003, our fishing group, Ifish.net, got together for our annual Christmas party. Each year we bring toys to donate to the kids at Legacy Emanuel Children's Hospital. The challenge for us is moving them from our party to the hospital. This year we were blessed to have Greg and USF Reddaway donate time and the use of a truck to solve our transportation needs. Thanks to you, we were able to deliver over 800 toys to kids whose health concerns would likely have prevented then from enjoying their Christmas mornings. These are very sick kids, and their parents often have exhausted their resources taking care of their medical needs. Bringing these gifts to the hospital lets the kids, and their parents, know that someone cares. And often, the kids are worried that Santa won't be able to find them because they aren't at home where they belong. Finding a present on their bed on Christmas morning melts those fears and helps bring needed joy to these young hearts. Thank you Greg Lindsay, and USF Reddaway for helping bring Christmas to the kids at Legacy Emanuel Children's Hospital.
Sincere Thanks,
Jennie Logsdon Martin

Greg:
Thank you for volunteering your time to bring the truck and drive it to the hospital as part of Ifish.net's annual Christmas toy drive! The success of this event, and the smiles on so many kid's faces on Christmas morning, could not have been possible without this kind support. And thank you to USF Reddaway for allowing use of the truck. Have a great New Year.
Jim

Re: Thank you to Greg, and USF Reddaway!
Greg, thank you so much for helping make Christmas enjoyable for a special group of kids. Your time and extra effort contributed much in making our toy drive for kids at Emanual Hospital extra special. It's people like you that contribute in their special way to making the world a better place. Thanks again and a special thanks to USF Reddaway for use of the truck.

Hey Greg....
Your taking the time and effort to be there with the truck and get the toys delivered...and after a 12 hour shift. What a guy...the true spirit of Christmas radiates.
And my three boys, who came late, thank you also.
Mike

Thanks so much for volunteering your time to deliver all those toys to the hospital! At this time of year when we're all so busy, it took somebody with a big heart to step up and help. My hat's off to you, thanks!

Re: Thank you to Greg, and USF Reddaway!
Thanks, Greg, for adding "one more delivery" to your already long day. Yeah, I know you didn't get paid for it - at least not in spendable currency - but that was probably the most important delivery you made all day.
And, Reddaway, thanks for loaning Greg the truck. I think he put it to good use. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Greg,
Myself and all of us at Ifish.net would like to thank you for all your support and help in making this years toy drive such a success. We could'nt have done it without you assistance. I enjoyed meeting you and you did a great job geeting that big rig into the drop off area.
Merry christmas and a happy new year!
