Becky Hedin - Memorial Fund

[Leon]

Hey Folks
Here is another quick update. I spoke with Bill on the phone a few minutes ago. He sounds as well as can be expected under the circumstances. He wants to express his heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone for their donations and prayers. I let him know exactly what is going on with the check(s) I will be putting in the mail for him. The first one for $4601 will go out tomorrow. I have taken those funds out of my paypal and transferred them to my bank account for Bill. Since that time we have collected about $500 more and that money, and anything else that comes in, will go out in a 2nd check in 2-3 more days. I will update the board with how many of us (it's a bit over 100 right now) donated as well as the final amount, all totaled together. I hope no one feels obligated to do anything but a prayer for Bill and his family is certainly appreciated, along with all of the donations of course. I will un-sticky this message tomorrow evening......

One other thing, as the money has come in I have not thanked everyone individually. Suffice it to say everyone's generosity is appreciated and a bit overwhelming.

I think we've all done a very good thing. Let's hope Bill can find the inner strength to deal with this.

It is nice to see the response Leon has gotten for Bill. With all the bad that goes on in our hobby, it is a really touching thing to see that in the midst of it all, the good guys do care about each other!

God bless Bill and all those in this community who had the means and the desire to help out!

I appreciate all of the kind words but have to say it was really Barry Sloa.te's original idea on a phone call we had. I only helped facilitate it. Our board members are truly the best though. Bill is a great guy and I know this Fund and our prayers will help him a lot. I know he is extremely appreciative too. best regards
