Micheal,

I fully understand and appreciate your support of Ellis.  Your example
would be a good one for others who are far away to follow.

THANKS!!!

I would really like to come to the benefit meal.  However, a trip to
Valdosta from Elbert County (about 4.5 hours) is not real feasible on a
Thursday evening when school is in session.
I have sent a letter of encouragement with a $25 check yesterday to his
home
address.
