Another gift...

Dear Austin and the entire Gulley Family,
While many of us at Chisholm Trail Middle School did not know your father personally, we knew what a great man he was and how instrumental he was in the student technology department of Northwest ISD. We were deeply saddened to learn of your family's loss. He was know for his kindness and support of others.
I wanted to let you know that the staff of Chisholm Trail has collected and contributed funds in his honor that will be used to provide scholarships for students needing assistance with technology support. Specifically, the funds will allow students to be part of the NISD "netbook" program and provide for students that would not otherwise be able to participate.
We hope that you and your family understand that we recognize what a valuable member your father was to the NISD team and that even now, his influence and passion for helping students with technology will continue.
On behalf of the staff at CTMS, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Robert Thornell
***Jim's heart broke when he saw kids that couldn't afford to participate, or kids whose parents couldn't afford repairs, this is truly a great gift, he would be pleased....in that quiet way he had, of course. ***
