John & Bill X 3! Thank you Gentlemen all...This small effort has exceeded my wildest expectations..not really. Only met my expectations..which were high knowing who GT's friends are. K. Wilhelm called both GT and myself the best guys on the Planet..I KNOW GT is but I really KNOW who the best guys on Planet Earth are. They are listed on my Honor Roll. Those are the fellows who sacrificed, those who stepped up to HELP when asked. Took the time to read, to care and more importantly to act. I applaud you all. Words are inadequate to express the feeling in my mind and heart. Pride with being associated with such and Honorable group of Men. I Thank you all for who you are.

I thought this might come up and a very close friend asked me.."Just curious what the large letters and smaller letters on the HONOR ROLL list means. If this indicates size of contribution?" Jerry BurneyEdit Post Reply Reply With Quote

Eric, Thank you my Friend..You and Debbie are truly salt of the Earth..Very kind and generous. I appreciate it so much. I am certain GT will find all this a welcome relief and ease his mind somewhat. If that is possible.
Thanks, Jerry

Ricardo, Many thanks my Friend! Your generous donation is much appreciated...Every dollar collected for GT's Wife and grand daughter will be well spent towards care and getting them back home to Phoenix. OH! And a new dog of course...If and when Jada can bring herself to facing that challenge..Thanks so much.
Jerry

Jerry/Ellie
You say"you men are truly compassionate, caring and giving" True but you and Ellie stand at the front of the line. We are merely contributors you and Ellie started this and are doing all the work. Give yourselves a pat on the back. We all do likewise. Your friend Bill

Bill, Nah, I'm just a grouchy old moderator..Ellie is a Saint..she gets dragged into my schemes but she's usually good humored about it. Mostly cause I'm too dumb to do what she does. There's still a bit to do..She sent GT a sizeable amount..going to send another Tuesday. Then wait on checks and process those.
He wrote Ellie earlier today indicating he had managed to get a quick look at the Forums on a borrowed tablet. Said he was speechless, grateful and the Forums help would be vital..so you fellows have been a great part of helping heal his Family. Of course it is a small step but like GT said, a vital one at this point to give him some peace of mind. I thank each and every one of you men who is making this possible. GT will have many more worries later but this is a good start to it all. Thanks... Jerry

Hi Jerry, things are starting to improve, we will fly Jada home tomorrow with her mother, Carol will be sent to rehab in AZ by ground ambulance transport...She has a ways to go, but is improving more every day... Yesterday, a pure raven black cat ran across the street in front of us! I thought about it for a second and said, "you're too late you jerk! Made me laugh a little bit! �� we fight on! Give my best to all! til....lat'r.......GT

John I Thank you very much! I am reminded of an old Dutch saying.."Many hands make for light work" If everyone on Planet Earth sent me just a penny I would be a wealthy man. The amount you sent was most generous and gracious. It is beyond appreciated.
Tom, I thank you as well..very kind of you both. I have not yet today received any update on GT's movements but I am hoping both he, Jada and Carol or going towards Phoenix. I will post anything that comes my way as soon as I receive it.Anyone who has communication with GT is more than welcome to post it.... Thanks once again for the caring, kindness and generosity you guys have shown in this horrific time of crisis and injury. I can only hope that if I ever have my back against the wall...I have a group of men as steadfast as yourselves on my 6. I applaud you all. Jerry
