A message from one Capital Campaign contributor...
Belle Shipley is in fine working order, she would like you to know. At the age of 89, she has memories that stretch back to an era when the Cathedral buildings were practically brand new. But she likes the church the way it is now. “I love the church,” she said recently, “and I think Todd’s been great.” What does surprise her is that we have not done more over the years to preserve the historic structure.
“The first campaign was good,” she said, “but I wanted us to keep going.” This time around, Belle has decided to keep on going. She has pledged a hundred dollars a month ... for the rest of her life. “I don’t have a big income, but this is what I wanted to do.” As for how long she thinks this pledge will last, Belle speculates “If I continue like I have been, that could be quite a while.”
