Dear Connie,
 
THANK YOU (and Butch & Maggie) soooo *VERY* much!!!!
 
Thanks!  *so* much for your support, concern and understanding.  Thanks!
for your research donation, for writing about and bringing more attention
to ADV and what it can really mean to EACH and EVERY one of us and to our
ferrets.  I *so* appreciate what you've done (and hopefully have started).
I am soooo *very* touched by your generosity my friend.
 
It's a GREAT read!! (If there's enough space for BIG to allow.)
