Alan Schneider, AS, at Villan-ova college in Villanova, writes "I wish there was a phrase more meaningful than "thank you" for it doesn't suggest any of the warm glow your greeting and gift brought me. When they came I got a boost that must have shown in my smiles for at least a week. It's your faithful rooting that will make us come out of this scrap on top." A pleasant surprise for Pvt.
