 I leave it to your discretion as to whether to post on Fredslist.
 
 The 30-50 Gotham members who took on  T-Mobile in support of Lisa and, especially Jane Present and Dr Dan Schaefer, should feel a well deserved thank you.  But to those members who were "too busy" to lend a hand, where were you?, and I would hope you will stand up with us the next time we are called to a worthy cause.

 Fred, please post if you will: 
   
 Dear Gotham, 
   
 As you have all been aware of the T-Mobile debt I was facing and from which I 
 have now been saved, I would like to extend an extremely heartfelt thank you 
 from my husband and me for your correspondence with T-Mobile, which no doubt 
 made an impact on their decision to clear me of the $7,000 phone bill I incurred 
 after my sim card was stolen in Nairobi.    Having use George Bush's tax rebate 
 to come to the United States to be with my family for a few weeks, I can tell 
 you that we are extremely relieved that our financial plans of paying down our 
 substantial educational debt will not be derailed by such a hefty phone bill.  
 We have learned a difficult lesson in regards to who we trust in Kenya and are 
 not nearly as naive as we were when moved there five months ago.  
   
 We would like to especially thank Dan Schaefer, Jane Present, and Fred Klein for 
 sincerely believing that, regardless of my naivete, T-Mobile was truly wrong in 
 insisting that we pay that bill.  We are grateful to T-Mobile for finally 
 understanding that we were the victims of a crime and for not punishing us 
 unjustly.  
   
 We will continue to live and work in Nairobi for the next few years.  My husband 
 finds his work to feed starving children in Kenya extremely challenging and 
 rewarding, and I am learning a great deal about education in the developing 
 world through my volunteer work at UNICEF.  If any of you are ever in Kenya and 
 there is anything we can do to assist in your travel plans or be of service to 
 you in any way, please, please, please do not hesitate to be in touch. 
   
 Many, many, many thanks.  You have truly made a different in our lives. 
 Lisa M. Welsien
