Begin Well, End Better

Dear All:

(PLEASE NOTE: The proposed publications have to be postponed because the donors list is yet to be finalized. Thanks for your patience)

In all things, as some like to say, beginnings and endings are the most interesting times. They can also be the most important, one may add, as implied by frequently stated warnings against being in like a lion and out like a lamb, or by common admonitions to begin well and to end better.

The fund raiser for WB began formally with the publication of an appeal in the 2/27 edition of China Tribune. Now the biweekly paper plans to publish in its 4/24 edition a complete list of contributors as a grand finale, paying kudos to all who have made the fund raiser successful, made WB's home-going dream come true, and made his future rehabilitation and good life a definite possibility.

To those who wish to contribute but have not, we appeal, now is the time to do so, before 4/22, the deadline of submissions to make for the 4/24 edition. Yes, WB has been reunited with his family, the process being expedited on the assumption that the sooner he return to his family the better. The miraculous improvement of his conditions ever since, in a matter of less than two weeks, has unequivocally vindicated that expedited return. He faces major rehabilitation efforts and faces a long life ahead, yet. Every extra $ adds to the insurance of his being well and doing better. Please rest assured that all donation $$$ will go to WB/family.

We also like the grand finale to be a celebration of humanity, of human spirits. To that end, you are encouraged to send to StoneWharf@gmail.com anecdotes, sentiments, well wishes, and other writings that may be published in the 4/24 edition. They will also be posted on Way-Yin.blogspot.com.

To paraphrase WB's legal guardian, it has been truly a blessing to have you and see your spirit of humanity at work.

Thanks!!!
