So, having experienced almost fifty flights where you made a
*significant difference* in the quality of life for several patients and
their families, are you saying you would quit tomorrow if a tax-
deductible, mid two-digit yearly fee were imposed?

Hmmm. I agree with you in principle. However, in this case I see the
greater good in what my volunteering means to those less fortunate and
would not be deterred by a fee that sets me back one dinner at a
restaurant (minus the wine) per year.
