Regarding “Greed is only greed, but Parton’s generosity is good,” (A19, Nov. 22): At this unique time of Thanksgiving 2020, thank you for the inspiring and uplifting story about Dolly Parton. She is truly a great American, giving away more than 147 million books to children around the world, in memory of her father, who was adversely affected throughout his life by his own illiteracy. She also recently gave $1 million dollars to help fund a vaccine for the coronavirus because she sees how the world is suffering from this disease. Finally, she has given us an incredible array of songs and music to lift our spirits and encourage our better angels. She certainly merits being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at least a million times more than Rush Limbaugh.
