Kestrana, I have the release and will get it and the highest resolution copy of the picture that I have to you shortly. Once again, I am flattered and proud to be included in the undertaking and am willing to help out in any way that I can.
I haven’t seen any further discussion on the proceeds, however, knowing Drew and the people I have met through Fark who take on such endeavors, I have all the faith in the world that a good decision will be made.
During the fund raising for Tom and Sue, I had spoken to Drew about setting up a foundation through Fark that would benefit people in need of assistance whether it be medical, disaster relief, educational grants or scholarships etc. He told me that he had kicked around the idea some but had found it to be a cumbersome enterprise. My brother has set up such a foundation and has told me that it really isn’t as problematic as it sounds. I am more than willing to assist if this is something that Drew and company would be interested in exploring further. FWIW, I found Fark from a story on either Sullivan or Lileks about a Farker who had been killed in a car wreck (kilipo4). His father logged on to his account and posted to Fark about setting up a scholarship fund in memory of his son. Farkers donated quite a bit to the fund and this was one of the things that told me that there was really something different about the site and the people. The past few months (this project included) reinforces my feelings towards the site and more especially, the people who populate it.
