$500 I don't want GT fund
A lot of you know of GT's disaster by now. His Wife and Daughter hurt bad. Gt as a fellow Luger artisan is near and dear to me..He has always been overly helpful and generous. This is only the start of a long and let's be blunt, expensive journey. Even with the best insurance on Planet Earth there are expenses that will not be covered.
First and foremost is GT's Daughters dog, who sadly didn't survive this horrific crash. GT's Daughter will need a new friend to comfort her and help her heal. So I am asking for 50 good men to step up and help me out with a new doggy fund. 50 good men you say? I will match any ten dollar donation. You send me a check for ten bucks and now it's twenty. You want to send more, that's a man with a good heart..I will still match the ten and all of it goes to GT. So I am curious to see if there are at a minimum 50 forum Members out there who will help with a little money to a very good cause. Nothing to win, no complicated raffle, no prize...other than lots of guys giving a little to keep our Luger magazine man up and running and a feeling that you gave a little to get a lot. Thanks in advance..You can send a check or PP my lugerholsterrepair@earthlink.net address ALL contributions, no matter how they are made and will be listed unless you specify otherwise. Jerry |
Done. See your PP. And may God help him and his family.

Good idea. Pp on the way.

Jerry,
As I've often told you (and this time I mean it!), you're a gentleman and a scholar. If you'll take cash, I'll hand you $25 when I see you soon. Bill |
Jerry - Check is in the mail.

Yes..Thank the lucky stars that are overhead that GT is fine. If there is any bright spot in this horrible tragedy it is this. He is at least available to give what aid is possible.
Money has been pouring in all day and all of you fellows have been generous of not super generous. It is always amazing to me that Forum Members help when asked. It had my Wife Ellie in tears and this old Soldier choked up. It's generosity like this that makes all of the bad news we are exposed to constantly fade into the background just long enough to think there is some hope for humanity after all. We have had many huge generous donations..$100 and up..I am still matching and want to see all of my money spent. So if you are inclined..keep the doggy fund going if you can. I plan to PP GT's account with what we have so far this afternoon. Many checks by snail mail so it will continue but after a disaster like this ready cash in your account gives one manuver room. Jada will get a nice doggy I am just sure of it! Thanks again to all of you.. |
thank you for doing this Jerry - folks probably don't know, but he has started raffles for John D ( we should do another after a while) - and he started one for a forum member who lost much in a house fire, and other things he never comments about.
Jerry is a superb guy and I am proud to have him as my friend. |
Aw shucks..Ed just being nice to the help. He's my boss you know...But thanks..Me too.

Jerry money sent via PayPal from ksosbun. My wife's account

Jerry check going in the mail Monday. Ron
|
Ron, Walter, Many thanks..It's an honor and privilege to be this conduit for your generosity. It means a lot. Thank you.
|
Sent via PayPal Jerry. Nice idea.
|
Done via PP - as gift so GT gets the full amount. Goddess Bless that man and his family!
|
Thanks John, Pete Zorba, and Kevin! I have to say..donations for our doggy fund are still brisk! I am trying to PP GT some money but I want to be sure it is an accurate transfer so I am waiting to hear from him. If anyone has any contact let him know I need to know...his PP account email for certain.
Even before snail mail trickles in I am pretty certain that dog is going to be a beauty! Thanks for all the accolades but I am a small part of this to be sure. Just a messenger. The thanks goes to the list of names I have on my Honor roll of donors.Those of you who know and love GT..those who have appreciated the fine and rare work done for them, those who have benefited from his always cheerful messages, optimism and encouragement. He has extended his hand to so many of us..we are giving him a small hand up in return. Thank you all for making it possible. |
Done - via PP.

Jerry, Thanks for taking the iniative in setting up this fund for GT. My check will go out on Monday. TH PS: With GT reasonable prices in the past, the expression "pay me now or pay me later" applies. Now is later.
|
Funds have been sent via Paypal "friends and family". Thanks for taking care of this Jerry.

George, Bill, Tom, David..All who have an interest in this, I woke up this morning to find a flood of help in my inbox. Thank all of you for this..The phone calls, emails, all of you are what it's all about.
I have updated the "Honor Roll" of donors as I know..even that has been a full time job keeping up with the sunami of donations. Ellie worked all day yesterday keeping track of donations..it's a labor of love for us and a sacrifice for donors from the heart. I will try to keep up today but I am unavoidably detained for a previously scheduled event for 5 hours or so. I will try to catch up this afternoon so I will only have my cell phone contact most of the day. I can only leave the ranch here for no more than 5 hours since my 10 1 quart humming bird feeders are empty after 5 hours! Thanks again..All you guys are doing is so meaningful..beyond mere words actually. |
Ed, Good thinking..I am now in touch with GT and asked him how, when and where so hopefully when he tells me I can convey the Members generous donations in a way that will help him the most. Here's a small update?
! Another one of those life changing moments! Carol is improving but her back is very worrisome..... Jada is doing great and has already commenced her plan to rule the Children's hospital, police, EMT, Nurses, and doctors with her cuteness and has had excellent success ... Most of all we just want to get home safely....I hear thru the grapevine you are working hard in our behalf, You are a good man Jerry, we appreciate you and yours, Thanks and Best to you, Til......lat'r........GT |
Done-Via PP

Thank you Doug...Have updated the "Honor Roll" and am sending money to GT this morning. Thanks to the Members generosity I am sure it will be some relief he and his Family can fall back on. Being far from home...in a strange city. It's still a long road ahead. Thank you all...
|
Jerry, I'm in. I'll send a check. :thumbup:
Who do I make it out to, and where do I mail it? Jerry Burney 636 Scenic Lane Howard, CO 81233 |
PayPal sent!

David, Thanks so much for your generous donation! It is much appreciated. GT says he will be online in a day or two. Understandably he is somewhat preoccupied at present but seems to be holding up well under the horrific circumstances. Thanks to all who are joining in to help this good man. Drop by drop we are filling up a bucket of help. Many hands make for light work.
Looks like I have 83 good men who have donated so far..most know GT, many contributed without knowing him, many Members have donated sizeable sums beyond what seems normal and many have donated twice. Things like this let us know America is still good, strong and caring. Thank you all... |
Jerry,
Sent via PP F&F thanks for helping GT ! Bill |
Jerry. Sent by PayPal. Great Job !
|
Jerry & Ellie
You should be getting two separate checks from me. Both are in the mail. Thanks for doing this. Your alright!!!!! Your friend Bill |
