A note from Barry Burbank, who continues to give his speech and appearance money to Wednesday's Child:

Hey Jack,
The dollar enclosed is from a 5th grade boy who came up to me after my presentation and handed me the money. He said he wanted to help out the kids. His teacher told me this $1 was for ice cream that day at school! Wow!
