"From 30% to 6%"

WOW.

[stickstr8up]

Wow! I always knew how wonderful she is as an entertainer, but I never realized how accomplished she is as a philanthropist and activist. How deeply she cares for her state and for the education of children. What a woman!

[MrFirstKnight]

she may not be learned but surely she is mush more educated than most people on the planet...

once again, Dr. Dolly Parton proved that u don't have to be a graduate of Harvard to be able to understand the basic and immediate needs of the people around you..it only take a genuine compassion and generous heart to do so..

God bless Dolly...may your kind multiply..exponentially, i wish...

[RDLARGENT]

GOD bless this wonderful lady. I knew I loved her for more than music. She is a instutation. From 30% to %6.

[gigigrits07]

This is great! If more people had Dolly's approach to life, this would be a much better world. Her interview with Charlie Rose a week or so ago was terrific!!

[fluffythecat2]

She's been breaking men's hearts for decades and now she's touching them with her goodness and kindness.

@fluffythecat2 As a teacher, I saw how reading at home somehow means twice as much as reading in school.
