"I'm a retired accountant. I don't think accountants are known for being dreamers, but they do say opposites attract. I love art. I love music. I love public television. I cannot imagine a world without it. Public television needs support from all of us. With my gift, I'm just trying to do my part to make the world a little better." | | |

"PBS is a laboratory of ideas, a laboratory of imagination. It expands my heart, my soul, my mind. I want public television to bring my children and my grandchildren the things that I treasure. If I can help them to open their eyes and see the possibilities, to value education, to value truth, I've done more through this gift than I've ever dreamed. It's really a wonderful feeling." | | |

"I'm as common as an old shoe. Public television gives me a way of seeing, hearing, and understanding things I never had approached before. I know the 21st century is not going to be all gravy. So now, we have an opportunity to ensure that the youth of today go into tomorrow with a gift from us. And when all is said and done, I'll know I've given a small part." | | |

"As a teacher, I feel strongly that children have the potential to be heroes. They are the citizens of the future - each one has so much to give. Public television encourages the idealism of children. By remembering public television in my estate plan, I am leaving a rich legacy to the children of the future. We can construct the future, we can create it." | | |
