Duane Davidson Orange City, FL

$100 donation to General Operating Fund in December 2008 in memory of William E. Anderson. Duane wrote:

"I happened to run across your site today and to my surprise found a story about my grandfather "William E. Anderson". I'd just like to take this time and thank you for your time spent in writing the story. I spent, what seems like, most of my memorable adolescent years with my grandfather and grandmother, although it may have been just a year or two. Those times were the best times I had as a child. I've since been estranged to that side of the family, as an adult, because of issues with my mother, but have always missed being with them. My grandfather was a very strong man and I only wish I were half as strong as he. Although I wouldn't say I followed in his footsteps, I also joined the military at 17 and was also an infantryman, as he was. Now at 42 I'm starting to look back on life and I'm realizing that some of the choices I've made in life were probably of direct consequence of having "Bill" as my grandfather. The memoir you've written in this case gives me some history to a man I've had great respect for all my life. The story of his life is just a quick pass in time, but something that means a great deal to me. For this memory I thank you."
