Mac,
I plan on pulling out of Indiana, tomorrow afternoon. 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.

Cliff,
I appreciate you more than you as these guys are looking to me for
their next meal and I will do whatever I can do to keep them in gas and
food. 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!!!!
Mac
