Joy and Larry

This is an�awesome thing that you have started.

I will be having a�50/50 rafle at the upcomng Westies at Watkins event donating 
the proceeds to the Grebneff family.

I will certainly miss Andrew and his witty responses and contributions on this 
list and on the Subaru Conversion list.� 

Plus he was� GEOLOGIST as I am/was so there is additional kinship.

�Happy Camping,

Thanks, Larry.

For anyone who'd like to contribute, you can go here:
http://roadhaus.com/PIF.html.� Larry collects contributions in the fund,
then he'll send them off to the account in New Zealand.� The website
reporting Andrew's death (
http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/news/files/andrew_grebneff.html) provides all
the info about how to put money into that account.� It also includes the
family's address, if anyone wants to contact them directly.

Paypal only needs to work for putting our contributions into Larry's fund -
though I think it does work worldwild.
