"I have two children, and my husband and I feel that savings bonds are good
long-term savings for college. I would highly recommend for anyone to save
this way."
                              -Emma Amuti, development associate, development

"I've been buying U.S. Savings Bonds for the last 30 years. It's a good
investment and an easy habit, and the bonds will end up helping send my
daughter through college."
                                 -James Inciardi, professor, criminal justice

"Savings bonds are another way of putting money away for my son's college
education, or even for a future emergency. It feels good. It's something
good to do for the government."
                                 -Barbara Graham, assistant director, housing

"I've been purchasing savings bonds for six years. They're a great way to
save money for the future. You buy them now, put them away and spend them
later. They're an inexpensive way to double your money."
                                  -John White, security manager,public safety

"I started purchasing bonds primarily because I come from a family of
savers. My parents and sister had always purchased bonds, so I thought
doing it was a good idea. I'm putting the money away for retirement."
     -Jane Lamb, associate professor, textiles, design and consumer economics

"Savings bonds are an excellent way to save money for my kids. Since the
bonds double in value, it's like paying half-price for them."
                                         -Larry King, mover, grounds division

"I purchase savings bonds for a couple of reasons: It's a painless way to
save money because it comes right out of my check. I am getting ready to
put a second child in college, and I need to save for that in any way that
I can."
                              -Lin Alessi, director, Academic Services Center

"I've been purchasing bonds for 10 years. I don't miss the money that is
taken out of my check. It's an easy way for me to save for a future
appliance or a home improvement."
                          -John Baynes, senior vehicle technician, motor pool

"I've been buying savings bonds for one year to save for my 6-year-old
daughter's college education."
                     -Tammy Jackson, staff assistant, business administration

"I purchase savings bonds to diversify my retirement savings plans. If held
to maturity, they are better than IRA's and CD's. The interest goes up with
the prime rate. They're a great way to help me prepare for my retirement."
                             -Charles Yenkin, HVAC mechanic, plant operations

"It's an easy way to save. You can't just go the bank and withdraw the
money. I believe in the government, and it's a great way to show that you
believe in America."
                         -Sue Lane, office coordinator, agricultural sciences

"Every family must save for the future, and my family expects me to do so
wisely. Savings bonds are a dependable, easy-to-manage part of solid
financial planning, and I will continue to invest in them."
                       -Dave Murray, senior boiler mechanic, plant operations
