>Is anyone sending a card, e-card or other from the KR community? >Joachim This is what I have proposed we do for Steve. So far only nine people have donated to this which really surprised me. I was also planning on sending a letter to Steve's family letting them know what his KR Family is proposing but I did not want to do that till I knew there would be enough funds to cover the $350 minimum donation to EAA to have him inducted on the Memorial Wall at Oshkosh. Here is the post I made yesterday............ "Steve Jones was an inspiration to the KR Family and I would like to recognize his dedication to the KR and the Corvair engine by honoring him with a memorial on the EAA Memorial Wall in Oshkosh, WI. For those of you unfamiliar with this, here is the link so you can understand what I am talking about: http://www.airventure.org/2005/events/memorial_wall.html A lot of you are new to the KR Family and may not know but I did this with donations from you for Ken Rand a few years ago. This gesture was more than appreciated by the Rand family, as I am sure Steve Jones' family would be honored to know we recognized Steve in such a manner. It is my understanding that Steve has no wife or children which is a blessing in itself, therefore, what better way could we remember Steve than to have his memorial permanently placed in a location he so much loved. If you would like to contribute to the Steve Jones EAA Memorial Fund please do so one of two ways: Send funds using PayPal www.paypal.com account flyk...@wi.rr.com . (My e-mail address is the PayPal account number). or Mail to: Mark Jones 615 Wexford Circle Wales, WI 53183 The Memorial Wall dedication service will take place during AirVenture 2006. Any amount over the required amount for the Memorial will be donated to the KR Gathering Fund."
