Sent Linda Quinn at IWM an e-mail last week.
Hi Linda
Just to help you with your sums
You should have received from me
2780.00 in the first transfer
336.00 in the second transfer
3116.00 in total
You should have then taken 80.00 from (3 OL's) Credit Card, bringing the total to 3196.00
At 8.00 per veteran this comes out at Three Hundred and Ninety Nine and a Half veterans!
I gather Jenni Morton was upset by the thought of half a veteran so she sent you a cheque for 4.00 to sponsor his other half.
This should have brought the total to 3,200.00 or a nice round figure of 400 veterans sponsored
I trust they had a good time.

Hi Mike,
Yes, it was a brilliant day for everyone that came. For veterans, so nostalgic, many a tear was shed.
I understand from Ted (Ted Inman, Director IWM) all of this money is to be paid to the Normandy Veterans Association, Ted told me he would be writing to you to that effect. I will wait for another week before sorting it all out, taking into account any stragglers.
Tell Jenni Well Done, and once again thank you all.
Regards,
Linda.
