Certainly not begging for $$, but I've gotten a few really wonderful and supportive donations thus far. I just want to make sure everyone knows that they can click on the helmet up above and then look for the PayPal logo on the main page to make a donation. Click that button, walk through the steps and you're as good as done!
Also, checks are fine (and some people prefer to do that... makes me no difference). If you'd like to send a check, or your favorite recipe for pineapple upside-down cake, the address is:
Grant Cummings
P.O. Box 73
Elmore, OH 43416-0073
(and no, it's not some shifty scam run out of a P.O. Box... I just don't have mail delivery to my house. It's Elmore, remember??

)
Thought I'd bump this topic back up to the top.
Thanks again to everyone who has helped out thus far!!
