Re: [MBZ] Funeral and kids and then some!

2007-12-07 Thread Wonko the Sane
Forgive me for not trimming my post -- difficult to do on this old laptop.

Here is the situation as I see it. We lost Marshall, and will admit that I
got a little emotional. We had exchanged emails during the last months --
blatently honest -- and although I knew the end was coming, the end was
still not easy.

Now, we have a new situation. Three young kids who were born into what is by
definition a bad situation.

I suggest we honor Marshall,
an educator of diverse talents, by rearing a new generation, three recent
additons to OkieLand
with dozens of step-grandparents (all of whom smell slightly of #2
diesel and Mobil 1).

I loved Marshall (in a non-gay sort of way) and can think of no better
legacy to him than channeling our efforts to the next generation. Marshall
was by no means a shallow man -- he understood that we are all temporal and
it is the next generation that has to carry on, and they have to be trained
to change their fuses.

Money diverted to cancer research is important. By gene pool, I will most
likely die of that. But anything we can contribute there is a drop in the
bucket, while real dollars can change some young lives who have endured more
already than I have in 5+ decades (and my life has been sort of ugly at
times).

  Ok,  Shut up and just allow us to do something for somebody we all
  like on this list.  We feel like crap for not being able to do
  anything of personal virtue about Marshall, it pains us that Regina
  has suffered a huge loss, and this is our way of doing something, no
  matter how small.  When something shows up in the account, ignore it,
  just let it gather interest.  One day soon you will find a burning

  love and support from the folks on this list to help you meet that
  need.

  Are you suggesting a Kaleb relief fund? Better yet, does he have a

What happened to the concept of creating a portfolio of information and then 
selling it to create a diesel machanic scholarship?
