Loved each of the stories, and yes, love the IRS worker, George, joing with us full heartedly… what a great harmony he brought. Small perhaps, but very much like family….it’s heartening for me to see each one there…. I’m sorry I didn’t get to speak with the two students.. didn’t know. Loved that we had folks helping. Thank you two for the invaluable Tax Chart each year. Truly, educational and a great tool. It’s an honor to be around such dedicated souls. love peace and understanding. my life turned around a long time ago by just chance walking by a demonstration. those there had no idea they impact on me. gratitude

I wish I could carry that feeling with me more often!

I kind of wondered why I labored over my letter to the IRS, which they will probably toss as they look for the $!
It did at least, help me explain to myself why I bother!!
