Dear Listers, There's a little less than one week left for this year's List Fund Raiser. I thought it would a great time to share a few more of the great comments I've been receiving from Contributors regarding what the Lists mean to them. There are some particularly poignant ones in this batch and I encourage you to have a look at some of them. Don't forget that once you make your Contribution, the Contribution Squelch kicks in and you won't receive any future messages from me regarding the Fund Raiser this year! This holds true for the Realtime and Digest distributions and now also the HTML and TXT links included with the Digest! (Note that for technical reasons, if someone replies to one of my contribution messages, the Squelch will _not_ be activated, and you will still receive it. Contribution messages will also still be found on the Forums site and the List Browse). Please make your Contribution today to support these List services! Pick up a great Gift too! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you! Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ============================= WLAS #2 ============================ Tackling my project without the List would be like building on a deserted island.

Once again, the information is worth more than I can ever contribute. Thank you also for the "community" that the List fosters.

Dave. Eve, his wife now want's all donations to go to the Embry Riddle University here in Prescott. There address is. Embry Riddle Aeronautical Inveracity 3700 Willow Creek Rd. Prescott, As. 86301 Because the University has been so good in allowing her to have the memorial in it's campus that is why she desires donations be made to the University. But for the ones that have sent donations to the Eagles, That's good too. The memorial service will be held here on Saturday December 4th at the DLC auditorium on campus. Signs will be posted to direct you.. He will be interned in Arlington Nation Cemetery on Dec 22. He was a hero among us. I do hope his Arizona friends will come to up celebrate Dave's varied and interesting life. The Az.
