Al, don't you think we should know who is matching the contributions?

Also, surely there is a maximum that an individual or organization

(corporate or otherwise) would be willing to match. Also, I really

appreciate the NCF and especially Gail for all of her time spent.

But there was another principal of the NCF who seemed to be

somewhat mean-spirited, McFarlane maybe was her name. Do you know

who the other lady is besides Gail that more or less runs the NCF?
