A Way to Payback For Your Help

i am very grateful to people who go out of their way to help me. Dgrinners are the best and i so so appreciate their help! I am extremely impressed that people on here who dont know me from Adam take their "precious" time to help me take better pictures. I do understand that responses from moderators ( Andy, Shay, Harry, Pathfinder & The REST ) do take time to support and help us. I dont think they even get paid for it!! Anyway, unless Andy or somebody higher up ( is there anybody higher up? ) says its inappropriate or not allowed I am sending ST. Judes Children's Hospital A check for $100.00 and listing Dgrin / Smugmug as the "Donor". In someway I hope this makes us feel good, it does me!

    Thank you Troy... Pay it forward I say. We should all realize the the blessings we have... What if every Dgrinner gave a dollar? What would that look like?

    Anyone want to match that?

    peace.

    You Da Man Troy clap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif


    As PF points out, just viewing your great pics of your little cutie and those gorillas (now there's an extreme...lol) is payment enough for most of us. Your gesture is not only appreciated, it shows just what kind of person you are. As I stated above, you're a hellava guy thumb.gif
