TO MY MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTORS

I got a full ride to Stanford University thanks to the Elsie B. Ballantyne fund. The Elsie B. Ballantyne foundation was formed in 1968 and it dissolved in 1972. That is all I could find out about them online. Yet a gift they made to Stanford paid my way through college. When I started my studies, I was informed that Mr. Robert Ballantyne was elderly and had trouble seeing, so I regularly wrote him thank-you notes in large letters informing him of my progress. When he passed way, I decided to write to his wife to send my condolences. Below is a verbatim copy of that letter. I never heard back from my mysterious benefactors, but they showed me the value and the joy of giving. Our foundation KANTAROT / КАНТАРОТ is a way of paying their gift forward.
