You are receiving this note because in some way your life has been touched by Richard (Dick) Brown.  People such as Dick do not live their life for fame - they become famous because of how they live their life.  They have a passion for others and for life that is infectious.  They have our respect – not because they demand it, but because they earn it.

Let's just bump this up to the top of the pile, and I'd like people to think about what they could possibly donate for the silent auction.  This event is only about a month away, and the ball needs to get rolling.  It looks like there have been some great items donated already, but we're on a scavenger hunt for donated items.  I think a specific request was a gallon of maple syrup.  Someone's gotta have that somewhere....

Thanks, hope you're having a beautiful spring day in VT!

For those who haven't heard yet good things to happen!  For example, Vermont Soccer Officials Association (VSOA), to which Mr. Brown belonged, will sponsor the plaque that will be installed at the school as part of honoring Mr. Brown.   Thank you!
