"Chester Plewa says he was so poor when he married Jesse at Boys Town on Dec.31, 1949, that she had to lend him $11 to cover some expenses. Jessie died on Nov. 17, and each of the 44 days leading to what would have been their 60th anniversary, Chet dropped a quarter in a jar - exactly $11. He said he will donate it in her name to financially struggling Holy Name School."

Dear Mrs. Kock,
In a small way, I want to support the efforts of the Holy Name School community to stay alive. When I was at St. Richard's, your support to Sue Mc Caslin and our entire staff was valued. Your school is needed in this part of Omaha. May God bless your efforts and may they thrive!

"The enclosed check is to help with the $300,000 deficit. This amout was what I had saved in change over the last year or two to be used as "fun money" on some future vacation. I believe at this time you could put it to better use."
