Tell me what else I can bring. I have over 100 computer monitors and 30 computers, oh and 10 pallets of pretzels :) Will probably run through Mount Vernon, IL and try to drag Scriv along. I will need directions to where I need to go. I will be heading back on Monday but I'm yours for the weekend.

This has been a TRUE grass rootd campaign right down to the CAT5 cable. We have all used our own stock of goods and we have gotten no help from anywhere short of a few donations that totaled about $2000.00 . If you send your donation to my paypal account we will have use of those funds now. Then I can make a call and tell the boys not to use my/their credit card to buy the metal (angle iron...etc) with personal money - - - -- - come get my PayPal card. THANKS A MILLION!!!!
