I wanted to give a accounting tonight, but my water heater blew up today at lunch so I am going to be a busy puppy for a day or so. I will report back ASAP. Thanks to every single one of you that has contributed. ---

[QUOTE=Dung Beetle] Fine, I still need a day or two…is there a deadline for this? [/QUOTE] I haven’t set one. I’m not even going to have a chance to count everything up for a day or so (I have to go start moving some pipes here in a minute), so you have time. ---

Paypal done. Or at least it says it was done. Can you let me know for sure if you get it? It acted kind of weird. ---

My 1st time using PayPal. My cherry’s been popped. Usually when I pay stuff on line, I just use my Debit. Which is sorta what I did anyway. BTW. How do you know when you get money out of the blue from some joe blow like me what it’s for? I saw no place to include a note what it was for. ---

Sorry for the lag in time, getting back here, but things have been a bit hectic around Casa de Rick for the last week. Anyway, I finally sat down and counted up the results so far. We have had 29 contributors and I have in hand **$980.00** As before I will absorb the PayPal fees. I know that there are still some outstanding checks that will be arriving. I would really like to see this grow to $1500 before we send it off, so if you have not contributed, now would be a great time. Any amount is welcome. Thanks to you all for contributing. If you wish to send a check, send me an e mail or IM and I will give you the address. **ETA:** Mail just arrived. We are now at **$1030.00** ---

I am proud to be part of this assemblage, and especially delighted we can make this contribution in David’s name as a show of our respect for him. Thanks to **Rick** for making this possible. ---
