"I found something interesting right here in the society column of our own paper. Look. Read where I marked it." Well, actually Michael Hayde found it and sent it to me. (But don't forget who posted it.) |

contracts
Since 1989, the readers of The Adventures Continue, through donations and proceeds from sales of certain items, have contributed a total of $24,768 to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America George Reeves was National Chairman of MG in 1955Read letter of appreciation from Esther Land of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America.MGA was founded by Jane Ellsworth, wife of "Superman" producer Whitney Ellsworth. George Reeves served as national chairperson in 1955 and remained close to MG in the years following. In fact, through TAC, George Reeves maintains a connection with MG to this day. MG marked its 60th anniversary with a special newsletter that includes the history of the organization complete with the photo of George Reeves accepting a certificate from Jane Ellsworth and Mathilda Kark Spak (page 5). I'm proud to note there is also a nice mention of The Adventures Continue.
Anyone wanting to make a donation in George's name is invited to contact me at jamesnolt@gmail.com. Wouldn't George be surprised to know he continues to inspire generous donations these many years later. ~Jim "Like The Only Real Magic -- The Magic Of Knowledge"The
