When I made my donation yesterday, there was forty-thrree dollars and some odd cents in the kitty. I am assuming there is now much more! I know it is not cheap to maintain a wonderful forum such as this. Tarboard is one of my favorite, constant web-sites. I may not comment often; but I do read every day I am able.
I discovered the Swallows and Amazon series when I was eleven years old, "Great Northern?" had been published the year before (my mother bought a copy of that for me) and became an intense fan - devouring everything I could about England and the British Isles. I became entranced again when my lady friend discovered a copy of 'Swallows and Amazons'" on the dollar rack at a bookstore in Boulder, Colorado. I now have all the Godine copies plus and when i discovered TarBoard in 2001, I was in the proverbial "seventh heaven"!
Even though I am not as affluent as most, I did pitch in my twenty-five dollars!!! I am very happy to help out.
Thank you, Andy, for bringing this to our attention!!!
