| Mark,
I've been a volunteer for 12 of the last 14 years and it is truly one
of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my lifetime. If you
have the chance to do this, by all means do... You will be amazed with
the outpouring of pure love that these kids have for themselves, their
fellow athletes and the volunteers. It's a truly rewarding experience.
One of the greatest moments that I saw during the competition is a
boy who was clearly leading the race notice that an older girl had
fallen behind him. He stopped, went back and helped her up and they
finished in last place together. But from the smiles on their faces
you'd never would have known that they finished last....
I've worked in almost every job imaginable and have loved them all.

| Mark,
I've been volunteering for the Special Olympics for quite a few years
now. It's a great experience. If you really want to put things in
perspective, it can't be beat. And these folks are great! You can
learn from them, and they can learn from you.
If you have a chance to do it - do it. You'll never regret it.
Last year at Fort Lewis out here in Washington I had some great
experiences.

| HI,
I KNOW I'M READING THIS NOTE VERY LATE,,,,ALMOST A YEAR BUT I WAS
COMPELLED TO REPLY THAT I HAVE BEEN A COACH OF SPECIAL O MENS
BASKETBALL AND UNIFIED SOFTBALL FOR 10 + YEARS HERE IN FITCHBURG MASS.
I'VE ALSO GOT A HANDICAPPED SON WHO IS A GOLD MEDAL BOWLER . ALL OF THE
PREVIOUS NOTES STATE THE TRUTH I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE BEING IN
MASSACHUSETTS SINCE THE KENNEDY FOUNDATION USES US AS A PILOT FOR NEW
PROGRAMS. I ALSO AM INVOLVED WITH THE ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED CITIZENS
RECREATION PROGRAMS. IF ANYONE NEEDS OR WANTS MORE INFORMATION SEND ME
A NOTE AND I'D BE GLAD TO INDULGE.

| re: .7
Good to hear from someone who is involved in this.
Please don't shout. All caps in notes is shouting. Try to use
lower case it is much easier on the eyes.
