Thanks guys...

Ken and Daniel, hope to meet you (and all others in the future for a coke or drink!)

Ron and Tracy, we of course have met. I tell you what, this is a humbling and shocking event. But having a support group like this, well, I am glad to be part of it.

BTW, we picked up our Bernease Mountain Dog frpm the clinic an hour ago, and she is coughing but fine so far.

Terry and I thank you,

Ed

Gentlemen, I want everyone to know that I will do my best to include you in the raffle if I get your request in a reasonable time. I have gotten hold of a few more tickets so, as I have already explained, I have opened up the ticket sales to accomodate a few more.

I don't want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to help Ed and Terry or miss out on a chance to win some VERY impressive prizes. I am trying for the three thousand mark as that will include John D's Hi-Power rig...C 'amon guys..Don't let that slip out of the prize pool!

John,Lew, Russ...Many thanks..The ticket sales are growing as well as the prizes. Had another holster contributed but won't know what it is untill it gets here. There will be a lot of winners in this drawing!
Thanks everyone for all your support. Jerry Burney

Jerry,

Jerry,

Just sent money via Paypal for 2 tickets

Thanks

I was at the house all day. It will take them almost 4 months to rebuild the house! Evidently, they have to gut it, to get the smoke out. Man, am I amazed. Insruance will cover most items, but as Jerry pointed out to me on the phone, odd things, like Vet bills for the dog, etc are not covered. We are fine, but it is amazing how these kind of things work?

The help from friends, etc, has made me have a real belief in humanity, and I can't express enough in words from Terry and I.

Ed

We are with you Ed in spirit and in prayer.

I've gone thru several total losses on Homeowners policies; they are difficult and time consuming but most states are very pro-consumer when comes to serious losses. Sounds like you've got good support but if you need to bounce anything off me, give a yell.

I'll take four tickets via PayPal.

Gentlemen, Snail mail has yet to arrive although I expect it this Thursday or Friday.
Thanks to all the Members for their great support!
Leo has sent a copy of Jeff Noll's Imperial Regimental Markings for the prize pool. If my calculations are correct that is 10 prizes and if the High-Power included that would make 11.
We need a few more members to jump in to reach the 3000 mark! Remember the High-Power will remain with John D if we don"t get there....

Email your Gun friends and see if they want to get a chance to win!
Thanks all. Jerry Burney

The High-Power is officially in the Raffle. We have sold 123 tickets and a few more promised in the snail mail. The reason we have reached High-Power level is because of the Generous donations we have received where no ticket is sold. I am speechless at the generosity of the Membership.

We will be extending the original end date, This will now be at 4PM on Thursday, March 24th. This is to make sure some promised tickets will arrive snail mail, and be counted.

A ticket will be drawn out and the member contacted to which it belongs, he will have first choice, second ticket, second choice and so on. This will take a little time as each winner will have to contact me with his choice.

One last time...Dave is quite correct, the odds here are pretty sweet for winning something. However, at this point I will only be accepting Pay Pal purchases. Snail mail will not get here in time unless it was mailed on or prior to 3/17/05.

Thanks to all for your support of a great cause, Jerry & Ellie Burney

I am more than speechless!

The support from the forum is so much nicer than my work, and work has been supportive and kind!

I can't let Terry read this, or she'll start crying again...

Ed & Terry

Jerry,

Due to problems which I will not go into here, PayPal is not an option. I can, however, overnight $$ via FEDEX. Should arrive Mon. Is that acceptable?

Tom A.
Who already has some skin in this game

Jerry,
cash for 2 tickets on the way via PayPal.
Please hold the tickets for me as I am located in Germany.
In case this arrives too late, feel free to donate the cash.
Best regards,
Juergen

Juergen, No, you are not too late! The drawing is presently scheduled for Thursday the 24th. Anyone can still get in with Pay-Pal. Thanks Juergen for your support of this great cause!

Tom, Thank you as well for your generous help...You got a gob of tickets coming no matter what! I believe Ellie privately Emailed you those details.

Gentlemen, I have another addition to the prize pool. Mike Fitzpatrick has offered two Excellent shape Vopo P-08 mags. These will be prize #12 and #13 it looks like. He will ship them directly to the winner once I notify him of who it is.

Thanks again for your support...

Jerry Burney

Jerry,
are you going to notify the people who sent in money that you received the money? I know that I would like to know that you did get what I sent in.

When you started this project, you only had 80 numbered movie tickets. But I am sure that more people have sent in money then that. How are those tickets going to be distributed or did you find some more movie tickets?

I hope that someone takes pictures of the drawing and/or the presentation of a check to Ed and Terry. That would make it a happy moment for everyone on the two major forums. I just wish that I could be there myself.

Oh! And nice going, Jerry, for getting this thing off the ground. It is really great of you to go through all this trouble.
Big Norm

Big Norm, Ellie immediately sends out notification of monies received and the ticket numbers by Email when we get them. How and when did you send yours? Ellie has gone through our complete Pay Pal and snail mail accounts and at present you are not accounted for. Please let me know how you paid...

As of this morning , 3-18 we had issued 136 tickets. Yes, I did get another roll of movie tickets.

I am sure I could arrange to take some photo's of the drawing and post them. It will be relatively mundane as my 85 year old neighbor will be drawing the tickets out of the cookie can.

Ellie and I will be sending out the check to Ed and Terry as soon as possible after the drawing. There will be some accounting, Pay Pal fees and Postage but as soon as that is accomplished, out she goes!

Ed and Terry will have to arrange for photo's etc. on their end if they wish to do so.

One other thing I want to alert all members to...Please send Emails! So we can notify you of monies received! Without contact information it is difficult to communicate effectively. Thanks, Jerry & Ellie Burney

Jerry and Ellie, Glen is in our area, we are going to get together, have dinner and they'll digitize us. :)

PS: Ellie, got your letter, meant a lot to Terry, she says she'll talk to you about kitchen "tools"...

Ed

unsure if this is appropriate, but this is the kitchen...

Holly crap Ed, I haven't been monitoring this page and had no idea of your misfortune. Pat and my prayers are with you and your family and wish you the best in these trying times. What a bummer. Payment for raffle tickets sent and hope this small token helps.
Lyn & Pat Islaub

Looks a lot different than when I was by there last year, Ed. What an experience to have to go through.

rgg

Okay Ed, from now on STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN !!!

:D

Jerry, just sent paypal for 2 tickets.
I'm thankful to be a small part of this fine effort, with such a wonderful group of folks.
God Bless Ed and Terry. Jesse

Hey Jesse! Where ya been?

Hey Ron, been gathering all the lugers books I can get hold of. Been lurking both sites trying to learn all I can. Went to a couple gunshows in my vacinity, slim pickin's for lugers in these parts.
Hey bud, please accept my late congrats on your retirement, Now you'll probably devote your full time to helping others. Take care. Jesse

Gentlemen, This raffle is scheduled to go off on Thursday and we will do just that. Keep an eye on this site and Luger Forum for a list of winners. We will be contacting ticket holders and asking them for their choices of prizes. Please be patient as we have to hear back before we can contact another winner for his choice.

We have sold 169 tickets as of Monday morning.

There is still time to get a ticket before Thursday if you want one. Send it Pay Pal. magicbelle@yahoo.com
Thanks again to all for contributing to this worthy cause, Jerry Burney

Jerry,
