'Angels' Update

From the November 14, 2007, issue of The Brown Daily Herald: "When [Yankee Magazine] featured Rajiv Kumar '05 MD '09 ... as one of its '2007 Angels Among Us' [November/December, p. 122], the small piece prompted readers to give $5,000 to the Adopt a Doctor nonprofit Kumar founded as a Brown undergraduate ... Kumar thinks the readers' generosity may be thanks to the impending holiday season. 'The [Yankee] article came at the right time,' he said. 'You never know how someone will hear about you.' " Our thanks to all the Yankee readers who donated to this worthy cause. -Eds.

Getting up early to listen to the radio for a school announcement of a snow day! Then spending the rest of the day in our pajamas doing whatever we want. -- Melanie Lima, Assonet, MA

I'm a Yankee transplant to the South, but it gets cold here, too, and there's nothing better than a big pot of bean soup and hot cornbread slathered with butter. --Janice Jenkins, Robbinsville, NC
