{{cquote|In 1996, because of my wife's illness, I moved from New York, the paradise of research for writers and public speakers, to Buffalo, to be near family. The great resources were no longer available. When I was "fretting" about my loss I was introduced to Wikipedia. It has been a constant source of information, data, inspiration and relief from frustration of not having the libraries of New York available to me. Thanks Jimmy Wales. Your concept was brilliant and Wikipedia a great gift to all of us who care about knowledge.}} |

{{cquote|My mother and her brother used to sing around the piano w/ the rest of the family and every week I visit my mother (98)and her brother (94 yrs old) and I sing some of the old songs. He asks me to find them so I can learn to sing them and this helps my mother remember the songs so the 3 of us can sing. Many of these songs are over 100 yrs old, so Wikipedia has been the only means to help my mother & uncle have their songs again. I thank you so much and appreciate this help more than words can say. My mother's face of pure happiness and delight when she is singing is priceless.}} |
