The time has come to publicly thank several people.  First, Lauren Spittle, who was one of my sixth grade students years ago.  She was always the one who smiled early in the morning and kept it up!  She sent a very encouraging message to me some time ago when she learned of this website, and I’ve not had the opportunity to thank her, until now.  Lauren, you’re a sweetie, and I wish you the very, very best!  Thank you for your support!

Persis Gow I would like to thank for being a very constant supporter of Rag Dolls 2 Love, with beautifully made dolls and many words of encouragement.  My hat’s off to you!

Also, Ruth Novinger.  Good grief!  There isn’t a week that goes by when I don’t receive a box of wonderful, cute dolls made by Ruth.  You have been a constant source of love and dolls for quite some time.  Thank you!

More to come, including information about an incredible person, Karen Landmann..!

Hi, Gary!  Thanks for getting in touch with me!  I looked through all 292 of our Rag Dolls contacts, and, alas, Joyce Schmidt is not listed.  Try going to www.whitepages.com and entering her information.  I’ve had pretty good success with that.  Good luck!

We’ve created a way for me to “talk” to visitors to this website.  My goal is to be able to answer questions that now appear on the guest book, post information about where the dolls end up going, and to acknowledge the efforts of all the generous people out there who make this work possible.
