　　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.

　　The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look­see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda.The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board

　　members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna

　　Dewdney's Llama Llama series.

　　Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they

　　have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams, a mother of

　　four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”

　　The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit

　　there and wait to die，” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

　　．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?

　　A．His health problem.B．His love for teaching.
