Special E-mail to Chris Windsor- volunteer with the Fergie Jenkins Foundation
Chris,

Thank you for
the work the foundation does and the fantastic autographed chair from spring
training 2018. It was an honor to win the raffle, take a picture with Fergie,
and most importantly share that experience with my 5 year old daughter (see
picture). Although, she does not know that pain of being a lifelong Cubs fan,
she has enjoyed celebrating the teams success in her young life and for me that
is something I cherish. Having this chair that helps commemorates that
experience is truly special and I know it will become a family heirloom. Seeing
my daughter’s reaction when it arrived was a special moment that I treasure.
I know the
work of the foundation promotes sports, family and humanitarian need and in this
case I can say it accomplishes 2 of 3. My family is fortunate to have what it
needs, but sharing my life long goal of seeing the Cubs win with my daughter was
the 3rd happiest day of my life – this char memorializes that along
side the picture of my father and my daughter under the marquee. (I had the
honor of meeting Fergie at the White House in January of 2017, in a less
personal way, March 2018 was personal and special.)
Thank you for
this memory and memento – and of course your good work.
Respectfully
and with admiration,
Go Cubs Go-
Ian Dubin
