The website link (
http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/news/files/andrew_grebneff.html) says that
the family didn't have much money, and they were taking up collections to
pay for repatriating his body.  But any contributions from overseas to help
his family will cost them $10 each to receive.  Maybe we can all contribute
to Larry's pay-it-forward fund, and then a single contribution can go to
help them from all of us?

It's six-weeks past, by now, but they must be devastated, having him
disappear and then be found dead in Mexico a few days later.  Knowing that
there's a community on the other side of the world that is thinking of them
might help.

Larry, can you receive donations this way and then send off our
contribution?

Joy
