Charities get little of phone pledges in 1999 drive
A New York state report shows only about 28.5 percent of 1999 pledges raised via 581 telemarketing campaigns reached the intended charities. Police unions and non-charities captured much of the rest, with examples including the Deputy Sheriff’s Benevolent Association of Onondaga and the Syracuse Police Benevolent Association. In Syracuse, a special auto show fundraiser raised nearly 39,000 for six groups, with 97 percent of ticket proceeds benefiting charities.

In a Rochester area family saga, Nancy Stewan and Terrie Maholick discover a brother, Douglas Richard Davis, born in 1944 and adopted by the Davises of Greece. Through a Monroe County adoption group and a Buffalo link, the siblings trace him to Placerville California, leading to a Thanksgiving reunion in Michigan with grandmother Elsie Weaver. Douglas, now in California with wife Mary, expresses relief at reconnecting and learning about 50 more relatives.
