Jason never knew about it (the donation) until today. I have been crying off and on all week about it. I thought it would really go right down to the wire before the deadline of May 30, and maybe someone or some company would step up. But I never dreamed it would happen so fast like this.

asked came community decided enjoyed great involved pointed relationship school since teacher wife
My wife (Annie) and I have been involved in First Place School for a long time, pretty much ever since we got to Seattle. That was the first (charitable) thing we did. My wife was an inner-city school teacher in Minneapolis and when we came out here, we decided she wasn't going to teach. She wanted to get involved in the community in some way. We asked the Mariners and they pointed us in that direction. It has been a great relationship since, a great fit, and we have enjoyed it.
