Just going through Greywolf's journal, he thanked Adelheid for her very kind assistance of some badly needed money.
It looks like Tom may be having a really tough time right now, both in terms of finance and health. I'm wondering if there's anything we could do to help him out financially. I know we're in the process of getting together a little something for Doug the List Guy (don't read this, Doug!), and I don't want to have this list turn into the on-line equivalent of the "office collections" that seem to pop up two or three times a week, but I'm worried that Tom may be in real need here. I'm up here in Canada, and Tom's down in the US, but hell, it wouldn't be hard to send a money order or cheque down to where he is. I could try to contact him through his page (I don't know how often he's on-line), to get an address or PO box to which it could go. Obviously, I wouldn't start collecting until I contact him, so we know that he'll be able to receive the funds. I'm thinking that if enough folks gave even $10 or $15, we could make things a bit easier for him, at least for a while. Anyone else in? Contact me on or off list, as you wish. thanks, frank -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J. Robert Oppenheimer
