    I received this in the mail. I thought it deserved a wider distribution.
    I have received permission to post this here from the sender.
    
    If there is a problem with posting this, please let me know, not
    Sharon.
    
    Keith Hauer was a longtime Digital employee who died suddenly in
    February.

   SUBJECT:  Request for Assistance for Keith Hauer's Family


   Early Sunday morning, April 10, a fire spread though Keith Hauer's family's 
   home.  Fortunately, no one was physically hurt.  The emotional toll since 
   Keith's death in February continues to grow for his five children.  The 
   family lost most of their belongings and is in the process of trying to 
   locate an apartment.  
   
   I have been asked by many SCO employees how to help the family.  There is 
   a trust fund set up for Keith's children to which concerned employees can
   contribute.  

   Contributions to the trust fund should be sent to:

			Hauer Children's Trust
			c/o Flagship Bank
			4 Mower Street 
			Worcester, MA  01602

    
    Pat,
    
    Would this qualify for Digital's matching gift program?  That would give
    contributions a little extra boost (and before somebody jumps on me,
    yes, I know that it's only $.50 on the dollar, not really matching, but
    Digital still calls it the matching gift program anyway.  However, in 
    this case I'm sure every extra bit will help).
    
    Thanks,
    Al
      

    Al,
    
    I don't know. I'll check it out.
    
    Now, to figure out who I should ask...
