This was sent us after we contributed to the Lynyrd Skynyrd Historic Marker in Gillsburg Mississippi.

We've tried to be there when asked to contribute to causes related to the plane crash. We purchased the DVD of the Memorial Dedication. And we contributed money toward a church in Gillsburg and pictures for a proposed memorial at the Greenville SC airport at the request of plane crash survivor Marc Frank. That proposed memorial in Greenville South Carolina, never happened, though.
