　　Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education．"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say．In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose．

　　Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee．“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, " Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder．"

　　Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library．com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．

　　Kate said, "Li Hua is really a hard-working student．He spends at least four hours everyday reviewing his lessons and his homework is never late．As the exams get closer he becomes even more diligent and works into the early hours of the morning, making sure he has gone over all of the information covered in our classes．"

　　John said, "Li Hua is the kind of person who is easy to co-operate with．Although he's very clever he is still willing to listen to others' opinions and take their suggestions．When we do group work in class we all want to be in his group because he always does his share of the work and is easy to get along with．"
