Whenever I open one of the books I've donated, and see Jan's face smiling at me from inside the back cover, I think she's smiling because of the work of the Book Trust!

That is a brilliant idea Jim that Jan would be proud of I am sure.

Jim,
If you ruled the world it would be a happer place. Why not make a start by running for president.
All the best and have a nice Christmas. (Thanksgiving ?)

Coming second is losing.
Thank you, Terry!
I might give a Presidential run in 2012. I think there's going to be a vacancy!

. . . for his most generous contribution to the Janet McArthur Memorial Book Trust!
We have 91 books there already, can you believe that? Not bad, considering that we started just 5 months ago!
We achieved our goal of 50 books on the library's shelves by the end of 2010 and, with the help of friends like Engin, I have no doubt that we'll achieve our new goal of 150 there by the end of 2011.

Jan, speaking through Jim, is happy for the Book Trust established in her memory! She thanks her friend Engin for his contribution.

It is the most marvelous city in the world!
And, I've made a couple of contributions in Jan's memory on your side of the Atlantic, too!
One was a donation to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (Jan's favorite place on England) to "adopt" the Swan and Maidenhead Inn sign, which hung outside the birthplace when it was a pub in the 19th century.
Another was to "adopt" a sheep at the Mary Arden farm. They are trying to preserve breeds of animals that were native to the area in the Bard's day.
