brian you are a good human. Some of the best humans I know are on this forum. I've only met two of them in person, Dave and Lynn of Cedar City, but I'm certain so many others are of this high caliber. Randy, Brian, all the bidders and those who donated to these auctions, you are a very strong statement to the world about who we are as a community. If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that? I have had the opportunity to meet several members. I consider each a friend and by extension. the rest of you as well. Bless you all. Kind regards, Bill

Thank you to Mark K , jasoninsd , RWA3006 and everyone who has bid... and, of course the winners. There is still a chance to bid on some coprolite. Lots like a nice chunk of change for stonemon . Indeed, deep felt thanks to all of listed here, as well as all bidders. Many of you have donated at the portal and thank you as well. Thanks also to all the folks who are unable to participate directly for any number of reasons. Your thoughts and prayers go straight to the disease I and others are dealing with.
The generosity of this group and other folks has taken me out of immediate crisis. While the is not over I cannot see the wolves at the door qnd they should be away for a while.
A huge shout out to realrockhound for suggesting this request and to Tommy for his support.
You all ROCK!!!
Thanks agin and kindest regards, Bill

Jean, Praying both you and Bob are on the gentle end of a quick and complete recovery! Too much chaos and pain for one happy little forum!

Thank you all for your thoughts, generosity and prayers! Annette says I am one of the most stubborn people she ever met. Did I say the most stubborn? Not going to go quietly.
I have been bedridden for 4 months and change and I am ready for a few days in the shop!
This forum has been a godsend. even when I cannot walk to the shop and my hands shake too much to hold a dop stick or use the keyboard, I have a perfect escape into the forum! Not much to add to the conversation but a whole bunch to keep up on!
Thanks for being out there! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and best wishes for Christmas and New Years. Best regards to all of you! Bill

Dear family and friends, Bill and Annette Barton 12/02/2022 After several years of declining health and unexplained weight loss, I recently bit the bullet and went to the hospital. Three days later, the diagnosis of advanced multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) came as a shock to Annette and I and also left us with bills approaching $30,000.00. We are working with regular medical and alternative practitioners to try and slow down the cancer and with any luck, get it into remission .We are opening the door to contributions to pay the emergency room and hospital bills associated with the diagnosis. My sister Rachel, has set up an online link for card donations that go directly to our dedicated credit union account. Also, if you don't wish to pay on line, you can send checks made out to me, Bill Barton, to Rachel's PO Box. (see below) She will add the account number and deliver them to the credit union. Online link: rainlandtrusts.comCheck mailing address: Bill c/o Rachel Ruckman PO Box 50861 Eugene OR 97405-0999 All contributions made will be applied directly to the diagnosis bills and this link will be disabled when we get them paid. Bless you if you can help! Bless you if you cannot! We are trying to regain our balance and send love to each of you! Bill and Annette Barton The Portal is on the Stripe platform and will not work with Paypal. Much lower fees. Sorry for any inconvenience
