I have a PayPal account set up. Just waiting for it to verify. I will be posting it up as soon as I'm verified and we can start moving forward with this. I would also like to have people who send any donations to put in their names and addresses so I can send you a personal thank you letter. This will be amazing and do my father a great service.

I'll also be posting it on my facebook as well as his if you're friends with either of us on there. I think he had a lot of facebook buddies on here.

Thank you everyone.

A medium brick should be enough to write just about anything we need. One of my friends said he needs a park bench hahahaha

The medium brick gives you 6 lines up to 16 characters. May have a C5 logo on it as well. I need to talk to the NCM about what we can put on them. Of course if we get there, I would want everyones input on what to do.

Thank you

If?? I'm in for the first 100.00 when you get it set up.

I'm really having a tough time with this loss and would love to see this brick done in his honor.

Me too Jean Heather and I will be moving back into my house in Sparks in a couple of weeks. You're always welcome over. If the weather is nice and I can get away I'd be more than happy to go for a cruise with you, maybe take some pictures. I'm not my dad that's for sure, but his grandson will be here next month and you should come meet him.

Yeah..I am having a hard time as well. I find myself wanting to shoot something over to him and then remember, oh, I can't do that anymore.
Then I get all melancholy and mope around for a while. Lin (my wife) will ask me if I am thinking of Bill again....she knows me all too well.

DAMN! I miss him.....

OK My PayPal is verified. I will accept donations for a brick @ the NCM. As stated before please leave your name and an address to send a thank you letter to. If you'd like to include your SN on here that would be welcome too. Obviously if you'd like to be somewhat anonymous I will respect that as well.

Thanks
Kris

A medium brick is $650(non member) and I think that is more than attainable. I assume getting custom work done costs more but I think we'll take what we can get. I haven't talked to them yet.
A large brick is $2600 and I think that just out of reach.
